A Corridor of Sisterhood
Walk through MissMe’s tunnel of sisterhood and love representing the invisible bond women share, explored through thoughtful drapery. Carrying words and phrases that translate some of the more conflicted relationships women carry ever day in our society, it is an interactive journey that serves as a beautiful reminder that we are here for each other.
"This is a corridor. This is a space where women get to just be. As subject and not object. MISS ME’s soft artworks are screams of validity. They are the faces of not having to please. The apology of the anger that is never allowed. As, like so many other things in our society, emotions have arbitrarily been “gendered”, and some, like anger, aren’t valued and validated for women.
This is a space where the women body is just that: a human body, free of the sexualized non-consented gaze.
This is a tunnel where the pieces caress you like a friend. It’s with the hope that the labyrinth-like feeling will make you feel out of his day, worries, social heaviness, for a few seconds."
"Johnnie Walker proudly presents "She Work Hard For It," an immersive art exhibition curated by acclaimed Canadian artist Ashley McKenzie-Barnes at Cultural Goods Gallery. Experience the transformative power of art and celebrate those who defy norms, blaze fresh trails and inspire change for all. Explore Lido Pimienta's maze-like installation, Maria Qamar's large-scale pop-art display, and walk through Miss Me's tunnel of sisterhood and love. This exhibition is part of Johnnie Walker's 'First Strides' initiative, which invests in cultural trailblazers through grants, visibility, mentorship, and empowerment programming, with a goal of uplifting diverse communities spanning various fields. Don't miss this opportunity to reshape perceptions, challenge expectations, and celebrate the power of women in art.
