"...A photo-based art exhibition addressing the culture of women's health care by exploring issues of empowerment, diversity, identity and embodiment is the latest in a series of events in celebration of the Women's College Hospital's 100th anniversary.
Curated by Christina Zeidler and Deborah Wang with advisors Sophie Hackett, Michelle Jacques and Betty Ann Jordan, the exhibit, titled Being She: The Culture of Women's Health and Health Care Through the Lens of Wholeness, opens at the Gladstone Hotel on June 9.
The art show combines high calibre invited artists, whom Zeidler and Wang said set the tone for the show, and juried selections, which represent a diversity of voices.
The women said the show gives a balance between physical health and identity, which was an important balance to achieve as they said physical health and identity are intertwined - Wang sites the work of Sophie Hogan titled Body Image Project as an example.
The exhibit at The Gladstone Hotel, 1214 Queen St. W., runs until August 1 with the opening reception slated for June 9 from 6:30 to 10 p.m.
Selected works and artists from the open call exhibition will also be featured in an online gallery at www.womenscollegehospital.ca until December 31, 2011, which according to Women's College Hospital, will be available after June 9, 2011...."
