VISUAL ELEGY
The prints in this exhibit are inspired by the poetry collection Appalachian Elegy and its author: acclaimed social activist, feminist theorist, artist, and native Kentuckian bell hooks. The 25 printmakers who’ve contributed to this project offer a variety of beautiful and compelling interpretations of hooks’ work; they are artists who believe, as hooks writes, that “(t)he function of art is to do more than tell it like it is – it’s to imagine what is possible.”

This diverse group of women artist are of national reputation and reside in 20 different states. The artists were asked to make a print that was inspired by a single poem or the book as a whole, combining this inspiration with their own unique mark and voice as an artist and feminist.
