December 12 Manya Shapiro

Manya Shapiro is a Portland artist working in alternative textiles. Art moves faster than society and forms a perfect platform for creative discussion of what is going on in the society at large. Shapiro was involved in the early feminist art movement in the late 1960's and early 1970's. That movement cleared the way for todays artists, who continue to comment on where we should be headed as a people. This afternoon Shapiro shows woven dress forms, constructed from non-traditional materials. At the Murdoch Collections 2219 NW Raleigh 4PM-8 Free
