The 11th Annual San Francisco AlteredBarbie Show. The Doll that has it All!
The Altered Barbie Exhibition is a creative reuse art show where people transform these icons into not-so-everyday ART reflecting our current society. Ken and Barbie, modern day icons, permeate every corner of our culture. Everyone recognizes and relates on some level to these icons regardless of their age, cultural or economic background, and lifestyle choices. Making art from Barbie and Ken creates dialog and community where there is none.
