Friday Night Paint ‘n Sip Workshop: Ruth Asawa
2024-05-31 19:00 - 21:00 (America/Chicago) | IL
This mixed media workshop is inspired by the works of Ruth Asawa. There will be opportunities to paint, draw, and work with fiber and wire. Drawing from life and nature, we’ll engage in meditative art practices to create abstract forms. While known best as a sculptor, Asawa’s use of line (in space and on paper) teaches us about the nature of materials themselves.

This class is led by Bekah Baker, Woman Made’s Gallery Assistant. Bekah Baker is a multidisciplinary artist using scientific and artistic strategies alongside her academic art history education to create works grounded in our experience with the material world.

Pricing:
$40 for members | $45 for non members
Availability:
This paint ‘n sip adventure is open to all genders and we welcome everyone! Each class only has 12 spots available, so sign up fast!

Epiphany Knedler, Their Own Choice (2022), mixed-media collage with matte medium, 14 x 11 in.

CHICAGO––Woman Made Gallery (WMG) is proud to present Roe 2.0 in direct protest and response to the United States Supreme Court’s 6–3 Dobbs v. Jackson decision, which overturned Roe v. Wade, the landmark ruling that established the constitutional right to abortion in 1973. Roe 2.0 is a hybrid group exhibition featuring works in a variety of mediums by 44 artists in WMG’s gallery space as well as varied responses to the theme by 100 artists in the virtual-only part of this important and powerful exhibition. Individuals also responded to a call for Abortion stories. Some signed their names while others stayed anonymous. Displayed next to the visual artworks at Woman Made, these written accounts, thoughts, and experiences offer an unflinching view of very personal perspectives entangled with political repression. Abortion Stories will be added online throughout the year as they are submitted.

The Dobbs v. Jackson verdict leaves people with the capacity for pregnancy at the mercy of each individual state, which can now set their own abortion laws. Access to safe, legal abortions and reproductive healthcare is a basic human right that the U.S. government actively chooses to exploit. The denial of reproductive rights and access disproportionately affects individuals of color and those from economically disadvantaged communities. Our bodies and reproductive capabilities are not a political playground.
We at WMG believe that art can and does create lasting social change. As an intersectional feminist organization, WMG stands in solidarity with pro-choice activists and organizations. This exhibition seeks to document artists’ voices in this time of urgency, as a means of resistance to facilitate change and create a space for open dialogue regarding abortion rights.
