Deep Listening Institute’s Ninth Annual Women & Identity Festival, curated by Artistic Director Ione, is dedicated to providing a vibrant and supportive community for women artists, allowing them to view and discuss work while exploring what it means to be a woman artist working today. Past artists have been writers, filmmakers, painters, sculptors, musicians, composers, actors, playwrights, dancers and performance artists. During the Festival, women have the opportunity to cover a number of topics, ranging from the personal to the larger investigations of the socio-economic and political climate faced by women in the arts. Ione, Artistic Director of Deep Listening Institute has been curator of the Women and Identity Festival since the first 1999 presentations at the Gallery at Deep Listening Space in Kingston, NY.
