GIRLHOOD

GIRLHOOD invites us to reflect on youth with a sense of distance and clarity. Girlhood is often viewed through an innocent lens, reminiscing on the bows in our hair and ballet flats covering painted toes. However, these depictions frequently overlook the diversity of experiences shaped by race, ethnicity, identity, etc.

“These artists’ works are steeped in the sentimentality of their formative years. Watching these pieces come to life and engaging in meaningful conversations with the artists has been a profoundly connective experience that I am excited to share with the community.,” said Hayla Hay, Curator. 

Through this exhibition, GIRLHOOD seeks to expand the narrative, inviting an inclusive dialogue about what growing up means across different lived experiences.
