First Class Woman
My latest piece, ‘First Class Woman’, premiers this month in Akwaaba Gallery’s latest exhibition Soul of A Badass Warrior! Completed in pastel, the piece pays tribute to Bermudian women abolitionists.
Historically the role of women has been marginalized and fraught with the struggle for equality and freedom. However, even with time, the struggle continues today. Though we come to the table as equal, our ability to sit at the table is limited by society’s inability to view us as an equal. In essence, whilst the world considers black women as second class citizens, their resilience paints another picture.
Soul of A Badass Warrior is a beautifully curated exhibition celebrating the artistic creativity of a diverse group of women. And through our works, we explore our individuality without societal limitations of inequality. Indeed, we sit at the table without hesitation and limitation, unified in what makes us the ultimate representation of a “BADASS WARRIOR”.
