Whitney Bradshaw: OUTCRY
@ Epiphany Center for the Arts
201 S Ashland Ave, Chicago, IL 60607
Opening Saturday, August 10th, from 6PM - 9PM
On view through Saturday, September 28th
Whitney Bradshaw launched her OUTCRY project on the night of the Women’s March in 2018, and since then the series has grown to more than five-hundred portraits of womxn from all walks of life who have chosen to take a stand against a culture that too often dismisses womxn’s voices.
Drawing from her background in social work, the Chicago-based artist invites groups of womxn who are not previously acquainted with each other into her studio for “scream sessions,” where they can express emotions—ranging from rage to sorrow to laughter—in a brave and supportive environment designed to cultivate a spirit of feminist solidarity across different life experiences. The resulting photographic portraits challenge expectations around how womxn—and in particular, women’s anger—are portrayed in portraiture and mainstream culture. Together the intimate representations of womxn’s power and expression that Bradshaw captures, become a monumental act of collective resistance. For more information, go to: www.epiphanychi.com
