Greetings To Whom It May Concern,
My name is Ai’jhana Cutler I’m currently a senior studying at New Jersey City University for fine arts. I’m contacting you on a possible inquire to collaborate for my art intervention that could possibly spike your interest. An art intervention would require an aspect of collaboration and/or interaction in a public space that creates an opening for discussion, awareness, and questioning the status quo.
My proposal is to have a poster visual I designed that pertains to women’s body autonomy and how it is always questioned. There will be text included saying ‘What’s Mine Isn’t Yours’ a reference to one of my paintings. Under the poster I’d want to have a shelf display with aim point symbol stickers. There’d be directions telling the person to place a sticker for a time they have experienced or witnessed a woman be verbally/physically harassed, attacked sexually, or in a way that seemed targeted for their gender as a woman or overall physical presentation.
There wouldn’t be a definite end goal as the whole process is the goal. Witnessing the poster of a woman’s torso cropped be covered by the aim point symbols is a call to those who feel objectified in a patriarchal society. It’s to bring awareness how common it is for women and even girls that experience being sexualized for simply existing, and to question why that mindset is so normalized.
Thank you,
Ai’jhana Cutler
