About the exhibition:

The exhibition title, All the Women in Me Are Tired, lovingly references a poem by Nayyirah Waheed, and resonates deeply with each of the featured artists and their work. The exhibition examines the multifaceted experiences of women navigating patriarchal expectations and limitations, societal and cultural pressures, and the ongoing struggle for visibility and autonomy. The featured artists explore themes of identity, resistance, transformation, and resilience through diverse mediums including painting, ceramics, collage, printmaking, and mixed media.

The weight women carry is substantial—from expectations to be quiet, soft, and conforming, to the idealized beauty standards and restrictions that attempt to obscure and control women's bodies and choices. Through their work, the artists offer powerful commentary on how women, particularly women of color and those who dare to assert their own agency, navigate these challenges as they move through the world.
