January 27 — March 5, 2021
Opening Reception, Wednesday, February 17 from 4-7 P.M.
HEROINE-ITY brings together a group of women who have been in the vanguard of feminist art making. They deploy their creative agency through role-play, costume, impersonation, and self-transformation to confront culturally entrenched forms of misogyny. They have in common a performative anchor: their bodies are the center of their work – a personal act of resistance to a repressive patriarchal society.
