Curated by Stacey Wilson this set of 7 images and texts bring awareness and attention to women in the genealogy of Jesus - not "leaders" within their society but managing to wield power and effect status all the same. When we acknowledge our ancestors we say: I am because they were... but who are these women?

Russell Hoban's work offers a queer(ing) lens and suggests that they are Holy Tricksters, "Cleverly dodging the limitations of their world, these tricky characters drive unforeseen subversive plotlines through acts of deception, pranks, wit, and intelligence to create unexpected outcomes. Tricksters are both destroyers and creators, and, foremost, they are boundary and border breakers whose actions and stories contradict convention; tricksters smirk at petty limitations and, in doing so, awaken audiences to creative possibilities."

Art and photography by Stacey Wilson, Talitha Fraser and Abby Wendy (all clay figurines)
