The Gentle Revolution Presents: The Pre-Vinylettes’ Suffragette Centennial Exhibition will run from September 26 through October 25, 2020 at Ford Gallery in Portland, Oregon. In this second iteration of the world’s first sign painting exhibition to feature women only, Remedios Rapoport invites the Pre-Vinylettes to Portland, with the messages of her Gentle Revolution Mobile as a guiding force.
The Pre-Vinylettes’ Suffragette Centennial showcases the work of 130 international women sign painters and serves as both a celebration and a critique of the Nineteenth Amendment to the US Constitution, with themes focusing on political topics, women’s empowerment, and positive change for a healthier world. In the spirit of critical and intersectional feminism, this exhibition features hand painted signs that honor, critique, analyze, and/or reimagine how far women and nonmen have come in the last century and how far we have yet to go.
