Cincinnati World Cinema presents doc about woman and art, June 9-10

By Richard O Jones | Friday, June 5, 2009, 03:38 PM

Cincinnati World Cinema presents “Who Does She Think She Is?,” documentary film about women, art and life choices, 7 p.m. Tuesday and Wednesday, June 9-10, Carnegie Visual Arts Center, 1068 Scott St., Covington, Ky. $8 in advance; $10 at the door. (859) 781-8151.

“Who Does She think She Is?” follows five women artists as they navigate the economic, psychological, and spiritual challenges of making work outside the elite art world. From the filmmaking team that won an Academy Award for Born Into Brothels, comes an important work that examines some of the most pressing balancing-act issues of our time: parenting and work, partnering and independence, economics and art.

From the suburbs of Ohio to studios in Cambridge and Providence; from Hawaii#s Big Island to New York City, from the deserts of New Mexico to the tropics of St. Vincent, we watch as these women, ranging in age from 27 to 65, fight to honor their vision and their families. Ethnically, culturally and geographically diverse, they pursue different muses as painter, singer/actress, sculptress/ceramicist, painter/print maker/activist, and sculptress/illustrator.

After the film, Cincinnati women will discuss their own life journeys, balancing their passion for art and love of family.

Offering a local perspective in the post-film discussion with the audience are metro Cincinnati residents Maggie Barnes, painter, photographer and musician; Mary Pierce Brosmer, poet, writer and founder, Women Writing for (a) Change; M. Katherine Hurley, painter and curator, Hurley Fine Art Studio & Gallery; and Aymie Majersky, film/video producer and partner Barking Fish Entertainment.

Screenings preceded by a social hour and cash bar starting at 6 p.m.
