We are a gallery with proud feminist roots, from our very first show 44 years ago this month, HER NAME IS NOT ANONYMOUS ANYMORE — one of the first all-women art shows in Philadelphia...outside, of course, our sister organization, The Plastic Club. So continuing our Xmas Countdown, you’re not going to find, among our self-made artists, Maids A-Milkin...or a-doing anything else. HEATHER RAQUEL PHILLIPS is a strong advocate along these lines, an interdisciplinary artist who celebrates and creates disruptions of norms and convenes and promotes “conversations about power, sexuality, deviance, freedom, failure and desire.” Her three fabric works in UNDER $100 all fit this framework and build off the artist’s innovative, message-driven large-banner series, which she installed in front of her house during the pandemic. Heather’s is a voice that is never silent.
