ANIMATION NATION TAKEOVER #6: Monica Newswanger // Friday, September 7⠀ .⠀ Watch @monica_theartist take over our Instagram Story today!⠀ .⠀ I just recently graduated Moore College of Art and Design in May and am represented by the online gallery CUE. I have been on a break from my sculptures, because my current place is too small for the work, and so I’ve been saving up for a studio space. Until then though I have been focusing on my drag and bringing that into my artistic practice. ⠀ .⠀ Women, queer, and poc artists have fought so that spaces exist for themselves, they’ve opened a door for marginalized communities in the art world. Though, it is still a place dominated by white, cis, straight men. I was taught about hundreds of male artists, and I was taught about very few queer women in four years at art school. To not be able to see yourself represented in the world is devastating and caused a lot of insecurity about my work and my place in art after I graduated. ⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ #TWFF2019 #PhillyFringe18 #LightsCameraRepresent #philadelphia #philly #phillyart #AnimationNation #sculpture #painting #RepresentationMatters #feminism #art

ANIMATION NATION TAKEOVER #5: Emily Joynton // Thursday, September 6⠀ .⠀ Watch @automaticbizooty take over our Instagram Story today!⠀ .⠀ Emily Joynton is a freelance illustrator and textile designer currently based in Philadelphia. She received her MFA in Illustration Practice from MICA in 2017, and is currently focusing on illustrating a three-part comic series written by her partner Manny Duran that explores the idea of home within the Cuban, Puerto Rican, and Dominican diasporas. She is also an avid roller-skater.⠀ .⠀ Emily believes that the best way to empower women in the arts is also the simplest: to create more spaces like Animation Nation that specifically seeks to exhibit work created by female-identifying individuals. But also in the excellent tradition of the Guerrila Girls, we must demand that work by women not only be displayed within women-only spaces, but also en masse on both national and international stages.⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ #TWFF2019 #PhillyFringe18 #LightsCameraRepresent #philadelphia #philly #phillyart #AnimationNation #design #illustration #GirlsSupportGirls #ejdrewthat #RepresentationMatters #feminism #art

ANIMATION NATION TAKEOVER #4: Kayla Jaeb // Wednesday, September 5⠀ .⠀ Watch @spaceagedesign take over our Instagram Story today!⠀ .⠀ I am a freelance graphic designer and digital artist who uses her work to inspire, educate, and empower. I approach each project with authentic curiosity and aim to amplify the voices of non-profits and entrepreneurs with a mission to make a positive impact on their communities. I believe in doing great work for great people, so I proudly serve the clients of Casi Ari Design and Voice as well as my own set of remarkable clients.⠀ .⠀ Intersectional representation in art and design is the source of its power. Art and design must reflect real life and all of its aspects in order to truly affect some emotion in people. Without diversity, inclusion, and intersectional feminism represented in art and design, it fails to reflect reality for so many people, and thus loses its power to connect with the audience in an authentic and meaningful way.⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ #TWFF2019 #PhillyFringe18 #LightsCameraRepresent #philadelphia #philly #phillyart #AnimationNation #design #graphicdesign #RepresentationMatters #feminism #art
