Howl, July 21 - 24, 2022
Forest For The Trees, Seattle, WA
Curated by Lele Barnett and Amanda Manitach
A survey of female-identifying and non-binary artists who work in large-scale material and voice. From hanging gardens to tensile textile walls, ephemeral text tracings to punk-poetic shout-outs, the exhibit encompasses a range of material expressions as elegant as they are aggressive, spanning the softly ecstatic to blunt-force unapologetic. Exhibited works include installations from both regional and national artists, and features reproductions of vital and viral images produced by the organization Shout Your Abortion. Across the works in this exhibit is a through-line where technical precision meets poetic expression, an offering of violent beauty that calls for response. The bittersweet march towards collective healing, progress, health, and survival lands on the ever-bending backs of these beasts of perpetual burden and power. May women rule the world.
Artists: Jite Agbro, Fumi Amano, Cleo Barnett, Marin Burnett, Mary Anne Carter, India K, Amanda Manitach, Marjan Moghaddam, Marilyn Montufar, No Touching Ground, Amanda James Parker, Megan Prince, Shout Your Abortion, Megan Stelljes, and Nina Vichaypai
