Unfiltered Femininity exhibition curated by alumna Jennessa Burks opens at campus gallery

Unfiltered Femininity challenges artists and viewers to reflect on the idea of femininity through an unfiltered lens by shedding societal norms and pushing past current ideas of socially acceptable imagery. Instead of narrowing the scope of femininity in search of a definition, the works in the show seek to expand viewers’ understanding of femininity through each artist’s unique perspective and interpretation.
