The “Seize the Gaze” exhibition is a captivating immersion into the boundless presence of women of color across generations made possible when women of color themselves determine the gaze – the lens through which they are perceived.
Through bold portraiture, six Asian, African American, Indigenous, and Latina artists evoke the profound feminine energies of the sacred, the sensual, and the spirited. Their paintings, photographs, digital art, mixed media, and sculpture invite viewers into an intense and powerful exploration of the limitless spirit of women of color when free of societal constraints. The “Seize the Gaze” exhibition celebrates the rich tapestry of empowerment and beauty woven by these artists of color.
