Wander Woman 2, the second iteration of Wander Woman, provides an empowering and engaging platform for Bay Area-local, APA immigrant women of color, who vary in professional backgrounds from emerging to established. Its mission is to highlight the artists and their work, and to amplify their voices by presenting significant conversations surrounding issues of equity, gender roles, and underrepresentation. Further, it aims to foster deep connections within the community and beyond.
The artists will produce a diverse range of artistic media stemming from photo-based conceptual work and material explorations such as performance, photography, print media, sculpture, video — intending to transcend geographic boundaries. Wander Woman 2 will present nuanced, intricate perspectives and narratives that have developed beyond the initial concept of identity in their art practice. Collectively, this exhibition explores complex identity politics such as diaspora, femininity, liminality, and power dynamics.
