Heresies - A Feminist Publication on Art and Politics and upcoming film entitled The Heretics
September 4, 2009 by graupepillard
The entire Heresies Collective publications - A Feminist Publication on Art and Politics - are now available on-line at: http://helios.hampshire.edu/nomorenicegirls/heretics/ I saw a notice in an earlier Heresies Magazine about an upcoming issue on Women and Traditional Arts requesting articles on an artist we admired. I kept racking my brain and wondering who I could write about for this issue, AND then I realized, of course, my own mother who I always thought of NOT as an artist in any way, but rather as the person who was always working supporting the family income through her dress-making/tailoring. A switch went off in my brain and I FINALLY appreciated that my mother was an ARTIST as well. And then when I interviewed her, I realized that her process, designing and sewing a dress was very much like my own when I painted and drew. I wrote an article for Issue #4 interviewing my mother on her art - which was sewing. http://helios.hampshire.edu/nomorenicegirls/heretics/pdf/heresies4.pdf Go to p.77 There is also a movie of the Heresies group called HERETICS coming out soon which is about the collective. Below is a 10 minute trailer for the upcoming film.

THE HERETICS, a brilliant new documentary feature, by award winning filmmaker Joan Braderman, will be shown at the: Academy of Music in downtown Northampton at 7:30 PM on Thursday, Oct. 22.
The film opened to packed houses at the Museum of Modern Art in New York City on Friday, October 9th, 2009. An extra show was added after the first to accommodate the overflow crowd. Friday morning, the New York Times had published a rave review, calling the THE HERETICS, "exuberant...gives a joyful sense of what it was like to be a feminist in the 1970's, a time when 'everything seemed possible'. The high profile women artists and writers today, she writes, are "just as passionate and engaged. It's a pleasure to spend time in their company."
