Call for Art
Horrified III
The Snips and their artists seek to explore the theme of possession in textile and fiber art.
This exhibition specifically resonated with our collective of artists as bodily autonomy in the geo-political sphere is being chiseled away from the people. We are reaching a saturation point of queer, disabled, uterus-carrying, anything outside of the realm of “other” bodies not having freedom (if we ever did).
Horrified III: The Possession also leans into the classic horror trope of exorcism. Rooted in Catholicism (for who can deny the immediate pop culture connection of 1973’s The Exorcist?), the demonic, and oppressive religious fervor all connected to a strange and often malicious entity possessing the human body .
Horrified III: The Possession is able to explore both the internal and external take-over of our bodily rights and autonomy and allow the ultimate freedom for the artists to explore what possession means to them and to our world.
The Snips Fiber Arts Collective
Makers cultivating their experiences at the intersection of femininity, handicrafts, and pop culture.
Statement of Values
The Snips welcomes all fiber artists on the gender spectrum
comfortable in femme spaces. We have zero tolerance for
sexism, racism, xenophobia, transphobia, fascism, ageism,
ableism, homophobia, fatphobia, and other forms of hatred
and discrimination. We create inclusive events for our artists
and patrons to feel welcome. We hold all members and
guests to these standards in hopes of representing and
creating positive social change in the Twin Cities and beyond.
