OUR HISTORY, OUR VOICES PROJECT
The Liberty Collins Exhibit
About Her 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.
It’s also been hugely influential in beginning more conversations with women around me as they find their own struggles represented and the strength to discuss them.
I am humbled by the journey of these body vessels and the connections I’ve made by sharing them.

More Exhibits
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.
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.
The Emerald Green 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.
