Herstory Printmaking Collective at the Outpost

on view: June 3–August 16, 2024

Herstory Printmaking Collective at the Outpost is an exhibition that features twenty-eight portraits of women and nonbinary people from different times and cultures. The Herstory project is a unique and welcome experiment in collective art-making that centralizes stories of women who have impacted the world in multitudes of ways. This grouping of portraits represents a wide sampling of Herstory’s many prints created throughout the last several years. Prints included in this exhibition feature women who may be more widely recognized, such as Frida Kahlo and Deb Haaland, as well as individuals that may be less well-known such as Rosa Guerrero, founder of the International Rosa Guerrero Folklorico Dance Group in El Paso and Reagan Wytsalucy, a Navajo horticulturist working to reestablish original food crops, counter food insecurity, increase resiliency, and perpetuate traditional cultural knowledge. The portraits are created by individual members and workshop participants, but collectively signed under Herstory. This exhibition invites us to learn and celebrate these and all remarkable women who continue to change the world.
