Last month, we introduced you to our monthly series, #ArtPowerWomen! As a recap, the goal of this series is to increase the visibility of important, unrepresented women artists. To do this, Art Zealous has teamed up in a pro bono collaboration with\u00a0Curatious<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0GirlSeesArt<\/a>.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n For the month of March, we chose Brooklyn-based mixed media artist, Phoenix Lindsey-Hall <\/a>. You might recognize her work from last year’s PULSE Miami Beach where she was exhibited\u00a0Never Stop Dancing, <\/em>which\u00a0<\/em>examined violence in queer communities through 49 porcelain disco balls, paying homage to the victims of the Pulse nightclub shooting that took place in Orlando in 2016.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n We caught up with Lindsey-Hall to discuss her background, her days as an LGBTQ rights lobbyist, and what we can expect to see from her in the future.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n To be considered for the series, post your work with #artpowerwomen.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Art Zealous: Hometown?<\/strong><\/p>\n Phoenix Lindsey-Hall:<\/strong> I have a few hometowns: Athens, GA, Greensboro, NC, Louisville, KY<\/p>\n <\/p>\n AZ: Favorite Local Hangouts?<\/strong><\/p>\n PLH:<\/strong> This winter it has been my sofa. When it warms up in a few weeks, it will be the dog park.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n AZ: You have an impressive educational background. An MFA in Photography from Parsons The New School of Design in 2012 and a BFA in Photography from Savannah College of Art in 2004. Can you talk to us about those experiences?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n PLH:\u00a0<\/strong>Education is very important in my family. As an only child, I often did my elementary school homework alongside my parents who were working on their PhDs. They have been invaluable role models, showing me the of the importance of self-expression, critical thinking, and open inquiry.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Studying at Savannah College of Art and Design<\/a> and Parsons New School for Design<\/a> allowed me to take the time to develop my basis of theory, craft and dialog. I continue to be supported by the friends, colleagues and larger communities that I developed during those critical times in my artistic life.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n
