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 Megan Cook Exhibit
Entrepreneurship is no joke. It's HARD work. Long hours, endless networking, small business admin, the list goes on and on. And, sometimes, being a woman in entrepreneurship is that much harder. But what nourishes and sustains me is the community I've built through it. I love that I can collaborate with other women entrepreneurs, supporting each other's dreams and work in community with each other rather than in competition with each other.
The Jennifer MacIsaac Exhibit
I have always wanted to learn how to make jewelry, metalsmithing to be exact. During quarantine, I began to explore YouTube videos on the subject. I have been having a blast learning, and there is still so much I want to discover about this medium!
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.
