OUR HISTORY, OUR VOICES PROJECT
The Leah Yaun Exhibit
About Her Exhibit…
This piece is titled “Fear of Him”.
It is about a time in my life when I kept quiet about a series of situations in fear of what would happen if I spoke up.
It is too common that women are belittled by boys because boys think they can do anything they want.
I think it is important to note that women are so much stronger than what society views us as.

More Exhibits
The Liberty Collins Exhibit
I'm an East TN native who grew up playing outside crushing poke berries, painting on tin with rocks, and digging in the red clay of my backyard. Now I’m a potter! I started my body vessel project in September of 2020 after a diagnosis of a chronic illness. Since then, it's blossomed into a wonderful exploration of loving my body, its limits, and overcoming shame around my illness and imperfections.
The Yvette Bodden Exhibit
I share these stories because I believe the spirit of a woman is one of a warrior. We are designed to withstand pain but the magic is in transforming it into greatness. Human beings have the power to create beauty from any circumstance, if the belief in self-worth and love is strong enough to bring yourself out of darkness.
The Anna Montgomery Exhibit
I am inspired by everyday things, creative design, books, music, movies, growing things, and–most of all–people. People I know, people who lived long ago, and the people who now live only in my imagination, such as my grandparents or people I meet in books.
