Bring #BeyondTheBinary to Latvia!

Hello There!

Janice Bond here, lover of made things and things made. Most by nature, some by humans. As a cultural curator and arts advocate, I've spent years creating spaces of presentation, collaboration, and economic development for independent artists and insitiutions all over the world. Today, I ask for your support for a personal endeavor that is both dear to me and necessary.

Recently, I was selected as one of the 11 artists globally to participate in the Daugavpils Mark Rothko Art Centre
I International Photography Symposium April 17 – 24, 2016 in Daugavpils, Latvia.

There, I will be sharing and continuing the development of my photography/multimedia project, Beyond the Binary. Additionally, they will add two pieces of my work to their permanent collection.


About Beyond the Binary
Beyond the Binary is an ongoing multimedia exhibition and social practice creating safe spaces for women to explore the connection between the vast spectrum of womanhood and nature.

What is this Fundraiser For?

Although the center is covering lodging, studio, some supplies, etc. All other costs must be managed by me, including: 

Flights and Other Transportation (bus/train/taxi)
Specialty Supplies (wood, resins, gold leafing, other tools, etc.)
Shipping of Supplies and Work Created back to United States

How Soon Do You Need the Funding?
I have less than a month to raise all of the necessary funds, however I'm optimistic! This body of work has brought so much love, education, and community to many, and for that I am thankful. To share this work and my intentions behind it to the far reaches of the word inspires me. I look forward to sharing the beauty and stories of these amazing women with the people of Latvia and the rest of the world. Please join me in making this happen. 

Final Thoughts
"It's imperative for us as women, particularly women of color to take the lead in documenting each other across mediums and platforms. Each story, curve, laugh line, every coil and scar, is a part of both the anatomical and socioeconomic landscape we navigate daily whether we are aware of it or not. ...The same ties that in many instances have pulled us apart, bound us, kept us silent, can also strengthen us. Beyond the Binary is an intergenerational and intercultural sisterhood, a new form of cultural mapping built on the trust, liberation, and love of women around the world. From comrades to the coven. We loving. We living. We being."

Gratitude.
