All Sizes Fit is a positive body image campaign that aims to increase body positivity and decrease the social pressures associated with obtaining an "ideal body." All Sizes Fit focuses on three principles:

Attention: Be in touch with your body and its signals. Your body is excellent at regulating and letting you know what it needs in order to perform optimally.
Appreciation: Appreciate everything your body allows you to do and the pleasure it provides. It is because of your body that you can engage in the activities you love and enjoy what life has to offer.
Acceptance: Accept all the assets you have rather than longing for what you do not. Much of your body composition is predetermined by your genetics.

All entries due by Monday, February 17, 2020. After we receive your piece we will send another form for you to complete where you can share more about your piece (e.g. title, artist statement, etc.)

The JSMA’s fourth “Common Seeing” exhibition supports the UO’s 2019-20 “Common Reading” of Under the Feet of Jesus by Helena Maria Viramontes. In the book, the resilient protagonist,13-year-old Estrella, works in the hot California grape fields while navigating the realities of first love, financial struggle, family separation, and illness. For more information about the “Common Reading,” including upcoming university events, visit commonreading.uoregon.edu. Two special loans from the Smithsonian American Art Museum (SAAM) by artists Emanuel Martinez and Domingo Ulloa anchor the exhibition. Martinez created Farm Workers’ Altar (1967) for the Catholic Mass held in Delano, California, at which labor activist César Chávez broke his twenty five-day fast in 1968. Ulloa, “The Father of Chicano Art,” painted Braceros (1960) after visiting a labor camp in Holtville, California. From 1942 through 1964, the U.S. government invited agricultural workers from Mexico for limited-duration assignments to relieve the worker shortage caused by World War II. Ulloa presented a sobering view of the reality of life for these braceros (from the Spanish for “one who works using his arms,” implying manual labor), who experienced poor working conditions, crowded living quarters, and other challenges while employed in the United States. These special loans provide historical and cultural touchstones for Viramontes’s 1995 novel and contemporary works from the JSMA’s permanent collection, including recent acquisitions by Ester Hernández, Victor Maldonado, and Lilliam Nieves.

 

Resistance as Power: A Curatorial Response to Under the Feet of Jesus is one in a series of American art exhibitions created through a multi-year, multi-institutional partnership formed by the Smithsonian American Art Museum as part of the Art Bridges + Terra Foundation Initiative.

Exhibit statement: These images were captured while in Cordova, Alaska, with the Science and Memory program in the UO School of Journalism and Communication. Science and Memory is an experiential learning initiative that is devoted to preparing students to tell stories of people and places adapting to climate change. In between conducting interviews and pursuing these stories, students also come face to face with the local wildlife that live side by side with residents of Cordova.  

Artist statements: Rhys Marshall is a current journalism/advertising student at the UO. He gained a passion for photography and travel ever since he bought his first professional camera five years ago. Rhys is currently pursuing more opportunities to improve his photography, and dedicate it to imaging adventure and the natural world. While he is still considering career path options, he knows that he wants to use tools of visual communication to tell the stories of the microcosms of life across the globe through accessible media.

Denise Silfee is a current graduate student in journalism at the UO. She has been taking photographs ever since her parents gave her a pink Minnie Mouse camera for Christmas sometime in the early 1980s, and she has been making real attempts to take better photographs since she served as an education volunteer in Peace Corps Thailand from 2011-2013. Denise worked in education in Oregon, Thailand, Sudan, and Egypt for a little more than a decade before deciding to return to school to learn the craft of storytelling so that she can tell stories about people and the environment.  @denisesilfeephoto
