Janice Hladki's curatorial essay for Fierce, features Maureen Bradley, Dana Claxton, Allyson Mitchell and b.h.yael, leading Canadian video and installation artists. The exhibition addresses the contribution of Canadian women artists to contemporary video culture, responding to the need for new image spaces and the consideration of ethical spectatorship. The exhibition, with it's range of stylistic and technical approaches, provides an arena for issues of embodiments and identities, public life, social justice, history and memory, the environment and species diversity, war, and peace. Much of the work is autobiographical, exploring the politics of self-representation.

Hladki addresses each of the artists work within the essay, addressing common threads within the artists practices, settling on a sense of hopefulness. The exhibition was on display from Januray 28 - March 10, 2010 at the McMaster Museum of Art.
