Anna U Davis
And Still We Rise
September 7- September 29, 2024
And Still We Rise features a monumental colorful mixed-media painting with a selection of Anna U Davis’s black and white wall sculptures exploring the perpetual misogynistic behavior that has been indoctrinated within society, while investigating the physical and emotional impact it has had on the artist. Davis’s Swedish roots are central to her brand of feminism. She remembers growing up in an environment where notions of gender justice were firmly embedded in the legal framework and norms of the community. Her struggles with inadequate childcare and family leave as a young mother in the United States, then, formed a strong undercurrent shaping her critical perspective.
