Sinister Wisdom

Part of the artist's photographic series, Our Hands on Each Other, draws it's title from a quotation from Lesbian Land, a published collection of writings by lesbians who founded or lived in women’s intentional communities, sometimes called “womyn’s lands,” in the 1970s-80s. With this show DeVun takes the history of Women & their Work as a jumping off point to ask viewers to consider the nature of queer and feminist space in the past and present. This photograph uses a queer model to recreate an image from a 1970s lesbian feminist zines.
