OUR HISTORY, OUR VOICES PROJECT
The Drocella Mugorewera Exhibit
About Her Exhibit…
I am a woman of faith, and I use that to help people to reach their potential. I am proud to lead an organization that welcomes refugees and asylees and helps them to be self-sufficient and to become productive and contributing members of our community.
I am also inspired by people who are successful in making an impact to transform people’s lives. Of course, I am inspired by the role of women and their contributions in all areas of life.
Educating women is educating society. I am thankful for the welcoming community and volunteers who help refugees, asylees, and special immigrant visa holders to integrate in our communities.
As a former refugee, I am grateful to the people who helped my family and me thrive toward giving forward in our new home.
I applaud and celebrate every woman in the whole world, and I wish them a happy International Women’s Day on March 8.

More Exhibits
The Connie Flachs Exhibit
I am inspired by movement and human growth, physical, mental and spiritual. This work in particular is part of a series of dance journal entries that have enabled me to document a time of major transition (of career, personal life, and place) in my life. The female spirit, to me, is sensual, feeling, flexible, and deep.
The Rebekah Riggs Exhibit
I'm an art educator who is inspired by color and everything fun. I’ve always been fascinated with stars, bright colors, and art that may be considered childlike to some. But nothing makes me happier than women having fun without worrying what others think, so it empowers me to make art that radiates happiness and fun.
The Yasmin Murphy Exhibit
Hello!! My name is Yasmin Murphy and I am a photographer residing in Knoxville, Tennessee. Photography for me is the thing that allows me to be who I truly am: connecting with others, building relationships, and being creative. I love the opportunities that have allowed me to tell others stories and make their vision come to life. When I am not photographing I am bouncing around to estate sales, cooking a meal at home, or exploring Knoxville.
