OUR HISTORY, OUR VOICES PROJECT

The Alaina René Williams Exhibit

About Her Exhibit…

I am a full time photographer in Knoxville, TN specializing in wedding and portrait/fashion. I knew my passion for photography at 11 years old and it grew even greater over the years. I began my business at only 18 years old and went full time at 21.

I believe in telling people’s stories, every story deserves to be told authentically and joyfully captured with a fresh and true touch of color.

This submission is about a production I hosted for women of color! It was to inspire them and others about how confident, radiant and strong we (as women) can be!

This production was to support, honor and recognize these women who have built a life of strength, confidence and success.

My goal is for other people to be moved by this as well and spread the light!

Let’s get the word out to support and honor the beautiful stories that have been told!

More Exhibits

The Cheryl Prose Exhibit

The MeToo Art Project launched October 2017 and is designed to (1) give survivors of sexual violence another vehicle by which to speak their truth about their experience, (2) be a means by which to hold perpetrators accountable, (3) raise awareness of the epidemic of sexual harassment and assault, and (4) be a means by which solidarity is shown- without regard to gender- with and to those who have experienced this type of life-altering attack.

The Mera Ragsdale Exhibit

My paintings question the way we look at feminine bodies especially in comparison to how masculine bodies are viewed. In art history, the objectification and presentation of female bodies and an accepted way to present and view them has long been prevalent, specifically as non-threatening objects of sexual desire. My work questions these long accepted practices and empowers my subjects to visually challenge the viewer.

The Chloe Allison Melton Exhibit

I am inspired by nature and energy. I want to know why things happen. I am very curious. In a way, my art documents that. I also consider art my platform to communicate about important issues. I love that I can use art to inspire others. It allows me to show viewers a perspective they may not have otherwise considered. In a world where everyone is seeking change, I believe the pivotal role of the artist is to be a messenger of the many perspectives people have.
