Art From An Alternate Timeline

Art From An Alternate Timeline.

In the vast expanse of the multiverse exists a world untouched by misogyny, slavery, and racism. Picture the classical art from this place. Imagine historical portraits created in a society free from the constraints of white supremacy and patriarchal norms. What would the 16th to 18th-century artworks from such a timeline look like?

In Joli’s work, she masterfully transports these imagined pieces into our world, providing a window into an alternate history through her artistic insight, encouraging viewers to delve into and reflect upon a past distinct from ours.

Experience how imaginative visions from other worlds can challenge and expand our understanding of history and ourselves. Perhaps by contemplating these alternate histories, we can better envision a future history—one that future generations can look back on with pride.

Every painting of Joli whispers of worlds unseen. Here, the traditional is inverted, and women take center stage. Not as objects for the male gaze, but as powerful embodiments of strength, intellect, and influence.

Each of Joli’s paintings are a window into a parallel world: a world unshackled by prejudice, a resonant testament to the power of diversity, of what could have been, and what can be...

Embrace the artistry that dares to ask "what if?" and "why not?" Let each piece become a testament to the belief in the importance of representation and the power of imagination to shape a brighter future.

"I Am An Instrument In The Shape Of A Woman."

“A woman in the shape of a monster
a monster in the shape of a woman
the skies are full of them……..
Galaxies of women, there
doing penance for impetuousness
ribs chilled
in those spaces of the mind…..

I am a galactic cloud so deep

so involuted that a light wave could take 15
years to travel through me

And has taken I am an instrument in the shape
of a woman trying to translate pulsations
into images for the relief of the body
and the reconstruction of the mind.”
- Poem by Adrienne Rich
