Women with Their Work I: Affect + Affection, 2017
Women with their Work is a series of all-women group art exhibitions, co-curated by Peter Prinz and Jessica Dallow, Ph.D. The first group exhibition, Women and their Work I: Affect + Action opened Friday, September 8 from 5:30 to 7pm. Artists address social issues ranging from institutionalized racism, water pollution, the atrocities of war, and the subjugation of female bodies (human and nonhuman). Birmingham artists in the exhibition are Catherine Cabaniss, Beverly Erdreich, Melanie Grinney, Celestia Morgan, and Miriam Omura. Miami artist Rosa Naday Garmendia’s work was also exhibited, as well as Frankfort, Kentucky artist L.A. Watson.
In 2018, there were two additional women’s exhibitions in the series that will featured emerging artists and sculptors. Accompanying panel discussions explored the attitudes toward feminist art among women of different generations and shifts from feminist issues of the 80s to broader societal issues of today.
