Rockville Glenview Mansion Art Gallery
(Opening Reception: Sunday, October 7, 1:30 – 3:30 pm)
Glenview Mansion, Rockville invites Korean Washingtonian female artists for their fall exhibition scheduled on October. 2012. Main theme is ecofeminism co-curated by Jung-Sil Lee and Komelia H. Okim. The past two decades have witnessed an enormous interest in Ecofeminism, a social movement that is marked by an intersection between environmentalism and feminism. Many feminists believe these two movements are mutually reinforcing because “woman” and “nature” are both dominated and abused by the given social patriarchal mentality. Claiming the twin dominations of women and nature by male-biased opinion, Ecofeminists promote the liberation of woman, and reclaim of green nature and its connection to womanhood.
