Exhibition Walkthrough of Textures of Feminist Perseverance

Sat, Mar 23, 2024

4:00 PM–5:30 PM

The James Gallery

The exhibition will be open Saturday March 23, 1pm-6pm.

Walkthrough begins at 4pm.

The exhibition Textures of Feminist Perseverance asks how women’s daily experiences and contributions are recorded in physical, virtual, and social public spheres. Centering the work of 17 female-identifying artists, this project supports artists who are imagining ways for women to take up the space they are already producing. This work is often achieved through a preoccupation with hands-on and labor-intensive making practices that foreground physical and embodied attentiveness to materials, social gathering, and awareness of time.
