The Jewish Art Salon’s exhibition, Activate: A New York Women’s Perspective, features the work of six artists whose divergent art practices investigate the complexities of life as women today. 

Exploring physical and political power, the show centers systemic, holistic, and female-driven change. The artists explore unique expressions of feminine power amidst fraught socio-political dynamics related to bodies and heritage, intimacy and otherness, sex and religion. From documentation to performance, the artworks both depict and embody female activism.

Through Jewish feminine symbols such as Lilith, Women of the Wall, the Statue of Liberty, and themes including Tikkun Olam, Kol Isha, and others, the artists create an eclectic mixed-media collection sensitively addressing intergenerational memory, injustice, courage, and survival.

The artists hail from free-spirited, dynamic New York; their vibrant, thought-provoking pieces question social norms, inviting viewers to join a political rebellion powered by a distinctly female force.
