“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.
This exhibition contains adult material: Parents and guardians please use discretion.
