A Brand New End: Survival and Its Pictures<\/strong><\/em> is a photography-based exhibition of new work by\u00a0Carmen Winant<\/strong> as part of a five-component project developed by the artist through intensive research \u2014 a hallmark of her category-defying practice. A Brand New End<\/em> explores historical and contemporary representations of oppression, liberation and self-expression through materials drawn from and inspired by the archives of Women In Transition (WIT) and the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence (NCADV). This multipart project aims to illuminate the often invisible experiences of women, as well as feminist strategies for survival, revolt and self-determination. It highlights the power of print (photography and printmaking) to depict how women view themselves, and how photography can serve as a tool in the struggle for individual autonomy and self-representation. Through its expansive consideration of image making, domestic violence and the larger feminist movement deploying the archives of WIT and NCADV, A Brand New End<\/em> critically examines the problems and possibilities of visualizing domestic violence and subsequent survival.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The exhibition has been organized by Ksenia Nouril, PhD, The Print Center\u2019s Jensen Bryan Curator.\u00a0<\/span>A Brand New End: Survival and Its Pictures <\/em>has been supported by The Pew Center for Arts & Heritage.<\/span><\/p>\n

      This project \u2013 which is collaborative and genre-bending \u2013 is a decidedly feminist undertaking. My work always has been a continuation of and a channel for my feminist politics and my interest in second wave feminist history. My work is more of a reckoning than a report; it allows me to reach backwards and attempt to make sense of the space between lives and movements. I\u2019m interested in how photographs serve us as we confront domestic violence (tellingly called \u2018wife abuse\u2019 or \u2018battered women syndrome\u2019 in previous decades). What and who is pictured in telling this story, and how? This project utilizes many different forms of pictures in service of making domestic violence survivors and their advocates visible, as well as contending with how we see (in the most literal way possible) and value them and their experiences in our culture at large. Domestic violence is an outgrowth and a symptom of the patriarchy that hurts all people inside of it.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

      Public Interventions<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n


      \nA public intervention in bus shelters around the City of Philadelphia, concurrent with the exhibition in our galleries, brings the space between Winant\u2019s art and the information shared by organizations like WIT and NCADV even closer together. Modeled after public service announcements, the artist-designed posters feature Winant\u2019s restaged photographs of t-shirts from WIT\u2019s participation in the Clothesline Project. These posters are intended to raise awareness of issues around domestic violence, relay information to people about services and support, and according to Winant, \u201cgive voice to the archive from survivors.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n
