Concept
S.A. Bachman
Résumé
S.A. Bachman (b. Columbus, Ohio,) is an artist, advocate and educator. She is the co-founder of the artist-activist collaboratives, Think Again and Louder Than Words. Her art practice examines the insidiousness of sexism, white privilege and conformity as well as how the mass media structures conceptions of race, class and gender. Bachman was a Senior Lecturer at The School of the Museum of Fine Arts Boston from 1991-2011 and a Senior Lecturer at Otis College of Art and Design, Los Angeles from 2009-2014. She resides in Los Angeles.
Through a confluence of image appropriation, language and monumental scale, Bachman's photomontages examine racism, sexism, and conformity. By manipulating representations of suburban malaise and out-of-context advertisements, Bachman turns the seemingly innocent, but obviously offending, image against itself. Her photographs disclose consumer appetite and the mass media's construction of gender and white privilege.
Founded in 2013 with Neda Moridpour, Louder Than Words is an activist art collective that targets sexual assault, domestic violence, women and migration, LGBTQ equality, and jail reform. Bachman and Moridpour enlist art in the service of social action, civic dialogue and public address while examining how misogyny and capitalism endanger women and the disenfranchised.
Projects include: Women On the Move, a 26-foot truck transformed into a mobile billboard and resource center addressing sexual assault, harassment and domestic violence. The emphasis is on the particular challenges faced by women whose experiences are the most marginalized: those who often fear reporting due to retaliation, fraught relationships with law enforcement, stigma or fear of detention and deportation.
Louder Than Words distributes all of their posters and other printed matter free-of-charge.
Founded with David John Attyah, Think Again (1997–2012) expects something political from art and uses images to challenge indifference.
