EXHIBITIONISTA: “REWRITING HER STORY” at the Hera Gallery
Hera Gallery and Educational Foundation 10 High Street, Wakefield, RI, United States"Writer Elizabeth Lesser asks “What story would Eve have told about picking the apple? Why is Pandora blamed for opening the box? And what about the fate of Cassandra who was blessed with knowing the future but cursed so that no one believed her?”
Flipping through the pages of your high school history textbook, how many stories are written about women as monumental protagonists? When was the last time you watched a movie that passed the Bechdel test? When was the last time there were more women than men on the Supreme Court voting on the right to our bodies?
As brands of “faux” feminism partnered with consumerist culture push out media representing women’s liberation through a patriarchal gaze, how can we reclaim the visual language to share more authentic stories? How can our art share the stories of women, trans women, and non-binary folks written out of the history books? How does your work give voice to the overlooked and underrepresented?
Hera Gallery presents 52 works that rewrite this cultural consciousness for a more inclusive human history."
EXHIBITIONISTA: “DWELLINGS: An Exhibition of Inhabited Spaces” at ARTLINK
ARTLINK-AUER Center for Arts and Culture 300 East main Street, Fort Wayne, IN, United StatesI am thrilled to participate in the exhibition: "DWELLINGS: An Exhibition of Inhabited Spaces" at ARTLINK
"For the exhibition DWELLINGS, juried by Steve Garst, Artlink invited artists to submit works of any media that involve homes, shelters, forts, nests, burrows, or any other forms of inhabited space used by humans or non-humans. Where a creature lays its head can be a place of refuge, sustenance, and identity. They are cauldrons of growth, filled with love, hurt, anger, learning, and memory. Often, homes are constructed and, in turn, end up constructing the lives of those who dwell within them, for better or worse. Artlink is excited to offer an exhibition exploring the variety of human and non-human places that serve as home, in all its numerous manifestations."
