The
Hudson County Community College’s (HCCC) Department of Cultural
Affairs is proud to host a panel discussion with the artists that
participated in the 2018 Wonder Women Project presented by _gaia.
The
Wonder Women Residency Project’s mission is to engage
underrepresented artists who are eager to participate in a collective
dialogue about agency, gender, art and social change.
This
year’s Wonder Women Project
“Eye
of the Storm”
was
organized and curated by Doris Caçoilo and Eileen Ferara. Artists
participating in the eleventh edition of the residency project met at
the Dineen Hull Gallery, from January 28 through March 4, to explore
the ever more crucial issues of climate change and current
environmental challenges. Women have always been at the forefront of
the fight to achieve environmental protection policies, shifting the
narratives most crucial to affecting this progress. Wonder Woman 11
culminated with a group exhibit at the NJCU Harold B. Lemmerman
Gallery, which is on view till May 11, 2018.
On
May 4 from 3 to 5 p.m. the Wonder Women Residency participants will
present a panel discussion at HCCC’s Dineen Hull Gallery on current
social issues and other topics brought forth by the works created for

Caçoilo, Sharon De La Cruz, Eileen Ferara, Tamara Gubernat, Deborah
Sperry, and Linda Streicher.
