The UMKC Gallery of Art is pleased to present 84/61: Women’s Work. Curated by UMKC graduate students, Deborah Baxter and Silvia Arellano Fernandez, the exhibition features artwork by fourteen locally and nationally recognized artists: Autumn Breon, Mona Cliff, Rachel Ann Connell, Manuela Viera Gallo, Jay Lynn Gomez, Michelle Hartney, Linda Jurkiewicz, Holly Ballard Martz, Nancy Morrison, Michele Pred, Valentina Trinidade Soria, Vanessa Viruet, and Ellen Weitkamp, two of which are UMKC alumnae: Stasi Bobo-Ligon and Robin Van Hoozer.
There will be a special reception to celebrate our alumnae who are being showcased from 5:30PM to 7:00PM on Monday, December 11th.
The exhibition includes painting, sculpture, collage, textiles, and video works. Themes include explicit political calls for equal pay and reproductive freedom; domestic labor, care work, and low-wage labor performed disproportionately by women of color and immigrants; family and cultural histories of women’s labor and activism; and interrogations of power systems and the American Dream.
