The Women's Caucus for Art invites you to “Stories We Tell”, a national juried
exhibition that portrays the rich tradition of visual storytelling through
women's voices chosen by Jessica Porter of Porter Contemporary, NYC. The works
in this exhibition use visual narratives to make sense of our world and to share
that understanding with others. The works range from the activist to abstract,
with artwork that addresses aesthetic, political, and philosophical perspectives
of stories that are political, contemporary interpretation of ancient myths, or
based on personal and family stories.
