A WOMYNIFESTO

This is a gathering spot, a refuge for the unseen, those overlooked and disadvantaged by society.

Here you’ll find community and representation for the stories long suppressed by the systems in place—the ones formed by the patriarchy, infused with gender norms, classism, racism, and heteronormativity. Here we fight against these systemic issues, we listen actively, we champion inclusivity, and challenge our deep-set notions.

This is a space formed in response to a lack of representation to over half the world’s artists. Collectively 85% of those represented by galleries are cisgender men and only 15% are women. In this gallery we aim to not only flip that statistic, but to also broaden our scope to all those Assigned Female at Birth, to Transgender Women, Intersex, and Non-Binary Folx. We heartily welcome and prioritize Womyn of Color and to those paralyzed by trauma, be it physical, emotional, or intergenerational.

Here you are seen. Your stories have weight. You matter.

To me, to us, be it she, ze, or they, here you will always have a place.
