“Agency: Feminist Art and Power” brings together the work of a wide spectrum of womxn-identified artists, representing diverse cultural backgrounds, generations, sexualities, gender identities, and geographic locations. During times of turbulent political changes, global conflicts, social, racial, gender, and economic inequities, these feminist artists challenge cultural-political norms related to womxn as individuals and global citizens. Demonstrating artistic excellence, the artists present work that recognizes and amplifies issues of concern for the regional population of Sonoma County and the greater Bay Area. They investigate topics of empowerment, identity, gender roles, aging, gender fluidity, reproductive choice, women and work, violence, and more. All challenge our understanding of what shapes us as individuals and communities.
