HEROINE: Rebel Teen Dream

Feb. 26 - March 3, 2016; Opening Reception: Feb. 27 - 7:00 p.m.
The Master of Arts exhibition of Leah Jean Haefner.
Mixed-media art through the aesthetic of the 1990s Riot Grrrl movement. The movement was centered around female bands in the 1990s in the U.S. and was influenced by the do-it-yourself mentality of the punk music scene.
The musicians and fans of the scene addressed social issues that negatively impacted women like assault, domestic abuse, patriarchy, racism, and unfair pay.
This Master of Arts exhibition explores the music heroines through the eyes of a '90s teenager.
