Rage Against the Machine, Part 1: To Be Human in America

Type: Exhibition Opportunities [View all]
Posted by: Pittsburgh Seen
Deadline: Sun, December 17th, 2023

America’s motto is "land of the free, home of the brave,” but the country is far from living up to that potential for women, people of color, BIPOC, immigrants, LGBTQ+ people, and others. Over the last twenty years, the Supreme Court has systematically dismantled civil and human rights; a minority of extremists want to strip our secular society of the intellectual and personal freedoms we have left; and police brutality is destroying communities from coast to coast. While the gap between socio-economic groups grows larger, American workers feel threatened and out of control. How and why does “land of the free, home of the brave” fail this country’s population? What does that say about the democratic experiment that our government can no longer provide or protect the liberty it claims to uphold? What has the USA’s brand become?

 Pittsburgh Seen is currently accepting submissions that explore the issues that plague America and threaten the socio-political balance of our world in the 21st century.

We are a multi-platform online gallery supporting/promoting early to mid-career artists via thematic exhibitions.

Exhibiting artists are featured/promoted via website, social media, and pop-up exhibitions worldwide and have the opportunity for studio visits via Zoom from Pittsburgh Seen and its curators. All artists must be over 21 years of age and not currently enrolled in an undergraduate program to exhibit.

Our Curator, Tara Fay is a mother, conceptual artist, curator, writer, and arts worker from Buffalo, NY. She currently lives and works in Pittsburgh, PA.

Fay’s work consists of a multidisciplinary praxis that is an exploration of identity, motherhood, Black womanhood, and taking up space. Through her practice, she mines her own lived experiences for subject matter, with a goal to intertwine her life with her work.

She has curated exhibitions for various institutions, which include Phosphor Project Space and Brew House Association in Pittsburgh, PA; Denison Art Space at Denison University in Granville, OH; and Swivel Gallery in Brooklyn, NY.
