Free, Fearless, Fantastical

Opening Reception January 23, 2025 from 6 – 8pm
Pen + Brush is thrilled to announce our first exhibition of 2025 Free, Fearless, and Fantastical, a group exhibition at Pen + Brush, curated by Bina Sarkar Ellias. The exhibition, which prominently features both art and poetry by a notable group of international artists and writers, evokes an exhilarating sense of liberation as a call out to the collective morphology of humans, women and the gender-marginalized, who have been silenced and constrained by patriarchal norms for centuries, says Sarkar Ellias.
