During the COVID-19 pandemic crisis (and social justice movements which ignited during the same period), humankind faced a torrent of emotions: sadness, grief, rage, fear, anxiety, and constant uncertainty. Nineteen female-identifying artists offer witness, through personal statements and artworks produced during this historic period, on what was awakened in their practice (and within) when they ceded to what presented in the pause.
“It is truly remarkable how deeply a bell can ring inside a person.”—Peter Levitt
