Alice Woodruff Gallery Talk - Warrior Women Exhibition

Discover the powerful stories behind Warrior Women as Alice Woodruff discusses her sculpture exhibition in an insightful gallery talk to take place on Thursday, February 20th at 7PM .

“Warrior Women” is a magnificent collection of 60 torsos. The exhibit portrays real-life heroines from American history, contemporary life, and women around the world. Each sculpture is accompanied by a written narrative that tells the compelling story of a woman who struggled against unfair and often brutal circumstances.

“Warrior Women” is a compelling vehicle for education. The masterful quality of the sculptures, combined with the variety of narratives across time and place, leaves a lasting impression on visitors. This is art with a purpose; beauty with soul. Women in the South - like women around the world and throughout history - faced heartbreaking challenges as they mothered, cooked, cleaned, and labored during and after slavery. Displayed within the historically-accurate surroundings of the Taylor-Grady House, these stunning sculptures and their stories will have a powerful impact.

Taylor-Grady House (TGH) is the only National Historic Landmark in Athens. Its vision is to make yesterday an active, relevant part of today by providing a lens into the history of our community - a history that includes all the people who shaped us: farmers, laborers, and merchants; landed gentry; servants and slaves.
