CALL FOR ENTRIES
What happens when dolls revolt, talk back, and act up? Are you soft, wet, empathetic, small, gentle, loving, tentative, pliable, frivolous, flaky, and DANGEROUS? Something more than a cupcake used to sell products and lifestyles? Send us your own artworks about the glories and frustrations of being a 21st century girl. Self-portraits with your favorite stuff, action shots of everyday events, contemplative drawings from the inside of your head, video/audio diaries, or animated futures — it's all up to you.
The Girls and Their Allies Caucus of the National Women's Studies Association is sponsoring a digital exhibition of art works made by girls. The Doll Revolt premieres June 2006 at the NWSA national convention in Oakland, CA and in a virtual gallery on the NWSA website. Featured artists will receive a limited edition copy of The Doll Revolt on DVD.
