OUR HISTORY, OUR VOICES PROJECT
The Emerald Green Exhibit
About Her Exhibit…
My name is Emerald Green and I am a photographer in Atlanta, GA.
My submissions include images of women throughout the 2020 protests that were held throughout GA as well as Louisville, KY.
I thought about what was asked of me, about me telling about myself and my work.
While I was at different protests, I saw that there were only white men who were capturing moments.
I asked a few of the activists at the time if they knew where the photos were going, and none really knew.
Although I’m sure that they had good intentions, I did not like the fact that no one could say where their photos were going.
They had nothing.
That was when I decided to use my talents to be sure to capture OUR narrative, OUR way.
I can no longer allow our stories to be told by anyone else other than ourselves.
My submissions reflect the many women who are constantly on the front lines, constantly putting themselves in danger for a little “good trouble”.

More Exhibits
The Susan Verekar Exhibit
I love everything to do with color. My art often embraces raw emotion, transformation, coming into one’s power, and a balance between light and dark. I paint with acrylics and oils and play with alcohol inks. I started painting a year ago as I was struggling to find my identity after becoming a mom. It started as a creative outlet but become a way to find myself again.
The Drocella Mugorewera 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.
The Victoria Walsh Exhibit
My work is texture inspired. Shadows, light play and layers add to the depth of my fiber art and practice. This piece was made during a recent residency at The Art and History Museums in Maitland FL, right before leaving my hometown and moving to Knoxville TN.
