24 January - 26 February 2023

Montague Contemporary is excited to announce the continuation of "We Contain Multitudes" now on view from January 26th through the end of February at High Line Nine in Chelsea. Curated by Laura Day Webb, this group exhibition features work by seven international women artists of color: Jessica Atieno, Prudence Chimutuwah, Angèle Etoundi Essamba, Muna Malik, Zina Saro-Wiwa, Florence Wangui, and Beatrice Wanjiku.

 

The show examines multifaceted perceptions and experiences of identity, belonging, and womanhood, and their relationship to cultural heritage and the contemporary world. The selected artists range from early to mid-career and work across a wide array of mediums from textiles and photography, to oil on canvas, and mixed media, underscoring to viewers the breadth of artistry created by women of color in an art world historically dominated by men.
