Our Fathers engages the notion of patriarchy as an emotional economy, as well as a system that promulgates an unequal distribution of power. Our Father, another name for the Lord’s Prayer intrinsically represents patriarchy as a form of social organisation whereby society is governed by a system, in which the father is the supreme authority in the place of worship, family, community, country and work environment.
bell hooks states in Teaching Critical Thinking: Practical Wisdom “Patriarchy has no gender” and yet gender is a politically and socially coerced category, in patriarchy’s syllabus of teaching. One that effects the most intimate of spaces, the family.
Artworks have been drawn from artists whose oeuvre either specifically or consequential investigate the idea of “father”. |
