SUNDAY COLLOQUIUM: Thank you to our exhibit sponsors – ABOUT THE EXHIBITION The Sexual Politics of Meat (SPOM) exhibition features fourteen contemporary women artists whose work has been inspired by the eco-feminist theories presented in Carol J. Adam\u2019s book, The Sexual Politics of Meat. The SPOM exhibition aims to not simply illustrate the ideas found in the book but instead, highlights how artists internalize theory and creates original work as a result; the exhibit will coincide with the 25th anniversary of the book.<\/p>\n The Sexual Politics of Meat, by Carol J. Adam\u2019s explores the ways that women and animals are marginalized and objectified in patriarchal cultures. Through an exploration of how persons might literally and metaphorically become \u201cpieces of meat,\u201d Adams analyses the object-status of nonhuman animals and its relationship to the objectification of women throughout visual and literary culture.<\/p>\n Through their work, the artists of SPOM examine intersecting oppressions based on gender, race and species, exploring what objectification means to them personally, politically and poetically. Working in a wide variety of media the artists of SPOM ask, \u201cHow does someone become something?\u201d<\/p>\n Featured artists: Nava Atlas, Patricia Denys, Kathryn Eddy, Suzy Gonz\u00e1lez, Hester Jones, Renee Lauzon, Maria Lux, lynn mowson, Janell O\u2019Rourke, Valerie Callender-Scott, Angela Singer, Sunaura Taylor, L.A.
