Women in Art:
A Conversation on
Empowerment, Equity, and Politics
Featuring:
Elizabeth Brown, Artist
&
Artiste Feminine Members: Shannon Shoshanna Chester, Lea Craigie-Marshall, Rachel Cross, and Yemonja Smalls.
In conversation with Carol Rhodes Dyson, Curator Busboys and Poets.
Visual art operates in a unique realm of expression - providing the artists with the ability not only show us who we were but also who we are. As such art becomes a tool that can be used to address issues at the forefront of society. Women as artists have come together across the globe to speak up and use their voices to influence and demand real change. In our current social and political climate what does this look like for female artists?Â
Join us to hear Elizabeth Brown of Atrocity.com speak on politics and Shannon Shoshanna Chester, Lea Craigie-Marshall, Rachel Cross and Dr. Yemonja Smalls, members of Artiste Feminine speak on the spiritual, political and healing aspects of female art. This talk will be a deeper dive into the Women Artists: Healers and Activists exhibition, currently on view at various Busboys and Poets locations.Â
