Briana Williams’ multidisciplinary performance will  time travel back 1851 to the famous Women’s Convention to channel the feminist icon Sojourner Truth.  The gut wrenching speech echoes still today, touching on intersectional feminism, smashing the patriarchy and race relations America. 

An unjuried exhibition about magic, power, spirituality and feminism

March 1 – April 19, 2020

Opening Reception
Sunday, March 1
1 – 3 pm

Witchy is an exhibition with work that addresses issues of ritual, magic, power, and how these concepts inform ideas about equity, health, spirituality, identity, and community. Throughout historic time periods, including our own, there has been a correlation between the rise of self-identified witches and fascism. Can magic, then, be understood as a different type of power, a way to combat political power that threatens many of our communities?
