![]() ![]() It also looks at complications and conflicts that emerged amongst participants, positioning these in relation to broader questions about socially engaged art and contemporary feminisms. ![]() This essay discusses several of the collaborative community-building projects carried out by Crossing Communities. The model of collaboration developed by Crossing Communities exemplified aspects of what Gayatri Spivak has termed strategic essentialism: a community that temporarily unites around a cause even while the identities of its constituents are in flux. Initially a prison art program, Crossing Communities developed into a downtown art space where women in conflict with the law collaborated with established women artists to make work in a wide range of media, from drawing, photography and video, to politically engaged actions in public space. In 1996 artist Edith Regier began a MAWA mentorship with artist and theorist Jeanne Randolph, which led Regier to establish the Crossing Communities Art Project. In it, I focus on mentorships at MAWA (Mentoring Artists for Women's Art) in Winnipeg, Canada.
