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 Allison Hong Merrill Exhibit
I'm a Taiwanese immigrant writer based in Utah. My work mostly centers around my upbringing in Chinese culture, which sadly, conditions women and girls to submit to men's will.
The Mary Ruden Exhibit
My love for art was influenced by my Welsh roots, and my ability to explore museums and gardens in Europe. I am active in the Knoxville Arts Alliance and I participate in art shows in the state of Tennessee as well as surrounding states. For Women's History Month I have chosen to display a couple of different pieces I have curated over the years.
The Archie Liggett Exhibit
I am inspired by grandmother. She grew up in the Roaring Fork community in Gatlinburg, TN. She lived to be 94 yrs old and loved to make things. First, out of need then for joy. She was fantastic. I hand stamp metal and vintage flatware to make jewelry and gifts. I have some of my work in local shops in Clinton, TN where I live.
