What does resistance look like in art?
Join us for an exploration of The Language of Feminist Resistance, an informal gallery talk unpacking the power, nuance, and defiance behind the exhibition Enough Already: Women Artists from the Sara M. And Michelle Vance Waddell Collection. Whether or not these women artists identified as feminists, these artists challenged dominant narratives, subverted expectations, and carved out space for new ways of thinking about what it means to be a woman in the world.
Through themes of the body, domesticity, and quiet refusal, we’ll examine how art becomes a tool of resistance, and why this language still speaks urgently today.
