The Middle Room is pleased to present Mythology/Matriarchy, a group exhibit of allegorical works centered on otherworldly and powerful female protagonists by contemporary artists Liv Aanrud, Susan Arena, Alexandra Carter, Vivien Ebright Chung, Christine Garvey, Erika b Hess, Kelly Lynn Jones, Aline Mare, Sarana Mehra, and Amy Talluto. The exhibition will be on view from March 14 - April 27, 2025. An opening reception will be held on Friday, March 14, from 6-8pm.

Mythology/Matriarchy is an exhibition curated by Shannon Rae Fincke to coincide with both Women’s History Month and Earth Day—and in dialogue with the newly released book by Nancy Reddy, The Good Mother Myth, along with the work of Sustainable Arts Foundation. This feminist interdisciplinary curation centers on the earthly and mystic interrelation between the both tangible and ethereal transcendent female-forward chorus of works by ten women artists. The at once historical, mythical and timely conversation between the dreamlike psychological, sociological, and experiential narratives in this group exhibition—coupled with the pragmatic text by Nancy Reddy and Sustainable Arts Foundation’s ongoing support of creative practices, community and structural reforms—contextualizes and amplifies women’s lives, lineages, contributions, power and voices, within the pendulum of history and currently threatening times.
