Don't Shut Up! Opening Reception

Cost: Free
Women are silenced everyday in every part of the world, from simple interruptions to acts of violence. On July 8, FIG (Feminist Image Group) will kick off Don’t Shut Up, a month of female-led art and activism at City Gallery focused on raising women’s voices. FIG asked its members to address personal experiences with sexism, backlash, physical and verbal abuse, discrimination, and rape in whatever medium and genre they felt comfortable. Over twenty FIG artists and eight invited artists will participate in the exhibition harkening back to the feminist resistance art movement of the 1960s.
