Woman.
Megan Thorne, the 2020 recipient of the USI Art and Design Department's Efroymson Bridge Year Fellowship, is the featured artist. Her exhibition showcases photographs she created during the fellowship that highlight womanhood from a feminist point of view. Thorne’s show analyzes topics that women deal with daily such as misogyny, objectification and the impact from the advertising, fashion, and makeup industries.
Thorne made the exhibition an installation from start to finish, including a room covered floor to ceiling in magazine ads and images, in order to give the viewer an immersive experience.
“I want the viewer to analyze themselves as they walk around my exhibition, it is meant to be overwhelming because what women deal with daily is damaging and overwhelming. If I can change one person’s mind about feminism or make them think differently after viewing my show, then I would be thrilled,” Thorne said.
“I hope I am able to make people really think about what they could be doing to fix these issues, even if it’s something they are doing subconsciously.”
Visitors can get an early viewing of some of the pieces from the exhibit by viewing our photo gallery. To see the entire show, visit the MAC/PACE in person.
