Join us for a free and public virtual exhibition gathering where we unveil Silent Fire | A Digital Art Exhibition featuring musical and artistic works by womxn and about womxn. A tour of the exhibition and accompanying panel discussion will be the main focus of the evening as we engage with the music, art, and collaborators.
If art, music, and female empowerment are your thing, this event is worth coming to. And, if they aren’t? All the more reason to check it out.
About the Project
In an effort to extend the lifetime and relevance of Yale’s 2019 “Women at Yale” initiative, and celebrate the contributions of womxn creatives generally, students from the Yale Institute of Sacred Music in close partnership with Nasty Women Connecticut have curated a digital display showcasing works by womxn and about womxn.
An interdisciplinary project from the start, the Silent Fire Project team programmed six non-canonical musical works and issued an open call to contemporary artists to submit corresponding artistic pieces. Ranging from the 1600s to the present day, the exhibition will feature original recordings of sparsely performed musical works with the accompanying visual responses of contemporary artists to each corresponding work.
Silent Fire’s musical program will feature collaborations between music and visual art brought together by the videography and video design of Camilla Tassi, sound mixing of Liam Bellman-Sharpe, and web design of Louisa Deland. The compositions of Fanny Hensel, Alexis Lamb, Libby Larsen, Florence Price, Barbara Strozzi, and Joel Thompson performed by Rhianna Cockrell, Carolyn Craig, Grant Herreid, Beatrice Hsieh, Deborah Stephens, and Andrea Walker. The recorded performances of these musical works will be enhanced by the contributions of visual artists Jacqueline Andrews, Kathryn Butler, Pearl Lee-ora Kruss, Carter Norris, and Carolyn Thompson.
