2008 Art and Change Grant – $2,500

  • Neighborhood: South Philadelphia
  • Change Partner: Sally Collier
  • Discipline: Performance
  • Social Change / Intent: Feminism

Deborah will create a performance piece entitled A Conversation with Women of God, that will examine women and spirituality in the context of several different faiths. The participants will be feminist women who have devoted their lives to God. Deborah will conduct brief individual interviews during which she will sketch and photograph each subject. Based on the interviews, Deborah will develop portraits that incorporate symbolic imagery to represent each woman's belief system and spiritual path. Both the individual interviews and the group interviews will be filmed by Columbian filmmaker David Sarasti, and the film will be used to make an installation piece that ties the paintings of the women and their religions together. A Conversation with Women of God will be exhibited at the Bridgette Mayer Gallery in Philadelphia.
