We Know Who We Are. We Know What We Want.

“We Know Who We Are. We Know What We Want. is the inaugural exhibition at the new home of Women & Their Work featuring 9 artists curated by Vicki Meek.

As women and nonbinary artists march into the 21st Century, there are a myriad of possibilities regarding our placement in the annals of world history. We have seen promising movement forward while simultaneously watching that forward movement slip away in bits and pieces, both nationally and internationally. The proverbial two steps forward only to be knocked back four steps is an ever-present reality. The battle for equal rights seems never-ending.

Curator’s statement:
We Know Who We Are. We Know What We Want. is an exhibition that examines how the idea of feminism continues to be one that has many definitions, depending on the lens through which it is viewed. I invited artists whose artwork and lives intrigue me and who all take an unapologetic view of their world, to come together in a collective conversation around issues of feminism and humanism. Each of them speaks their truth about belonging or not belonging, about sisterhood, about othering, about justice or injustice, and about the amplification of their voices in all of these topics.

We Know Who We Are. We Know What We Want. artists include Nida Bangash, Lauren Cross, Rehab El Sadek, Angela Faz, Pallavi Govindnathan, Lahib Jaddo, Pat Johnson, Lovie Olivia, and Naomi Wanjiku Gakunga.
