Women in the City of Brotherly Love, Group Exhibition
Immerse yourself in the vibrant pulse of Philadelphia with Women in the City of Brotherly Love, a group exhibition at Pentimenti Gallery. This captivating show presents the artistic prowess of three remarkable women who made the City of Brotherly Love their home. From the intricacies of urban socio-economic status to the natural beauty of the city, and the diverse tapestry of neighborhoods, Philadelphia has provided these artists with a rich palette of inspiration. Through a variety of works (drawing, ceramics, photograph, object), each artist offers their unique point of view, collectively weaving diversity that mirrors the eclectic and ever-evolving spirit of the city.
La Vaughn Belle, Solo Exhibition
Enter the realm of La Vaughn Belle’s artistic journey with her first solo exhibition at Pentimenti Gallery. Belle’s meticulous work examines archives, architecture, oral histories, myths, and material culture from the colonial period to today. She lives in the U.S. Virgin Islands, a place that has changed colonial hands seven times—the longest being Denmark and the last being the United States. Her work explores a narrative that intertwines personal and global histories, crafting new stories that affirm the principles of freedom and self-determination.
