No one individual or community could ever be the "face" of a feminist artistic movement that spans decades, and continents. But acclaimed artist Michaela Spiegel — the founder of Centre Pompadour, Europe's only feminist artists' residency — has crafted a series of video portraits that speak to the collective power of the artists, writers, and content creators who are driving today's global feminist artistic movement.
One of the persons she profiles is our own Anne K. Ream, the founder of The Voices and Faces Project (which will be rebranded and expanded as Center for Story & Witness in spring, 2024). A past artist in residence at Centre Pompadour — working alongside painter and Art Works for Change curator Randy Rosenberg — Anne spoke to Michaela about her journey into feminism, how a literature that centers women shapes her worldview, and why the "male gaze" can be so hard to shake.
During Women's History Month 2024, our Voices and Faces Project team stands in solidarity with the global community of feminist artists who are using their voices, stories and art to create a more just, equitable, loving, and free world. Thank you for all you do, for all of us.
