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 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.
The Katrina Julianne Scott Exhibit
I was taught from a young age that women were meant to be quiet and pleasant, never loud or angry. When I reached college, I encountered men who took advantage of that mindset and of my naivety. I soon found other women who shared those experiences and felt a similar sense of frustration towards the narrative expected of women.
The Cheryl Prose Exhibit
The MeToo Art Project launched October 2017 and is designed to (1) give survivors of sexual violence another vehicle by which to speak their truth about their experience, (2) be a means by which to hold perpetrators accountable, (3) raise awareness of the epidemic of sexual harassment and assault, and (4) be a means by which solidarity is shown- without regard to gender- with and to those who have experienced this type of life-altering attack.
