‘Wide Awoke’- Are Female Artists Worth Collecting? with Juta Jazz

12/10/201811/10/2018 by jutajazz

This time in our latest ‘Wide Awoke’ article Juta Jazz depicts her answer to ‘Are female artists worth collecting?’ in this creative video – take a look…

Several weeks ago, we announced our brand new ‘Women’ section within TheAppWhisperer and we kicked off with our first ‘Talking Points’ with the incredibly talented mobile artist, M. Cecilia Sao Thiago,where she visually channeled the creative argument of ‘what if I wasn’t me?’, envisaging herself as an artist whilst physically being a male, as opposed to female.Catherine Caddigan another accomplised aritst also contributed with a great ‘Talking Points’ entitled ‘What do we reveal to the camera’. We followed that up with a fabuolus insightful video from Susan Detroy,with her perspective vis-ƒ-vis the women’s movement, using her own self portraiture work and ethos. Successively we published the first in our Women’s ‘Wide Awoke’ section with Armineh Hovanesian and following work from Deborah McMillion, Lynette Sheppard,Rita Colantonio Fleur Schim and Joyce Harkin.

For our ‘Wide Awoke’ section initially, we selected a challenging discussion at the Tate Museum, London. Recently, an article was published in The Guardian, by Helen Gorrill, suggesting that female artists are less likely to succeed now, than they were in the 1990s. Gorrill expressed “Today, when men’s artwork is signed, it goes up in value; conversely when work by women is signed, it goes down in value, and the addition of a woman’s signature can devalue artwork to the extent that female artists are more likely to leave their work unsigned”. And even more scathingly, “The Tate seems to align to these views by only collecting a ‘token’ proportion of work by women, who form the 74% majority of fine art graduates”, Gorrill goes on to say.

This of course, provoked much discussion here at TheAppWhisperer HQ, after all, this is one of the key elements to our new Women section, we want to drag out all these issues and more into the open.

We approached several female mobile artists and asked them this question ‘Are Female Artists Worth Collecting?’ and asked them to create a short video of their answer to our subheading of this section ‘Wide Awoke’. Today, we are incredibly proud to publish the sixth in this series by none other than female artist, Juta Jazz from

We really hope you enjoy this new section and of course, please feel free to leave comments below, this is a section about Womens issues but we invite all men to view and participate in commenting too.

Mobile Photography – Women – Talking Points – ‘What Do We Reveal To The Camera?’ with Catherine Caddigan

28/08/201824/08/2018 by Joanne Carter

We are so pleased with how popular our new Women mobile photography and art section is becoming. Previously, we have featured incredible videos by M. Cecilia Sao Thiago and Armineh Hovanesian. Today, we publishing a new video, this time by Catherine Caddigan from the United States, a very talented mobile artist. Caddigan has produced a video of her perspective vis-à-vis the women’s movement, using her own work. It charts her thoughts surrounding, what as women we consider beautiful and encapsulating the mystery of what we reveal to the camera as opposed to revealing the mystery with our camera. “We as women are pressured from the time we are young to meet a certain standard of beauty, which affects how we feel about ourselves and how we present to the camera and how we are judged. For instance, I don’t considered myself as beautiful which affects my treatment of selfies or self portraits”, she explained.

Our ‘Women’ section addresses many of the issues affecting women in society today and reflects that with mobile photography and art. ‘Talking Points’, addresses answers to questions we have asked female mobile artists. We’ll include mobile video, demonstrating issues surrounding women, could be body hair, could be safety, sexual harassment, abortion, miscarriage, women in leadership, female entrepreneurs, flexible working, all issues that we each have thoughts about, whether through experience, or cognizance and each answered visually through mobile art.
