IAMWOMEN: Reimagining Her Light
TODAY WE CELEBRATE THE BIRTH OF A NEW WOMAN. A BOLD BEAUTY WITH A BOISTEROUS TONGUE AND A CROWN COMPOSED OF FLOWERS AND THORNS FROM HER GARDEN, THIS INSTALLATION CELEBRATES WOMEN'S DISCOURSE WHILE PRESENTING HER IN HER OWN LIGHT.
SHE WILL STRETCH HER LIGHT ALONG THE EDGES OF HER ART WHILE THOSE EDGES STRETCH ACROSS OUR NATIONS.
#IAMWOMEN IS A MOVEMENT OF DISCOURSE BETWEEN WOMEN, FOR WOMEN, TO WOMEN, ABOUT WOMEN. IT'S IN HONOR OF HER.

WOMEN WHO SCREAM.
WOMEN WHO WHISPER.
WOMEN WHO CELEBRATE.
WOMEN WHO CRITICIZE.
WOMEN WHO LOVE.
