Taja Lindley was named an Artist-in-Residence at Dixon Place. From May through August 2017 she will be using the space and resources of her residency to further develop her one-woman show.
Each year Dixon Place selects 3 emerging artists for 4-month residencies, providing 120 hours of workshop space, technical support and a stipend. Artists-in-residence have the opportunity to culminate their time at Dixon Place with a presentation.
The City of/by/for Women Project featured Taja Lindley in their poster project. This project engages Rebecca Solnit and Joshua Jelly-Schapiro’s Nonstop Metropolis project, specifically the map “City of Women,” in which she addresses the male-centric naming of western cities through the re-naming of New York City’s metro map.
