(En)gendered Agency presents a group of women artists exploring core expressions of agency: mindfulness, leadership, and intentional action. Each artist approaches their personal and collective agency through an intersectional identity lens, including gender expression, race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, culture, social and economic status, and their individual artistic practice. The resulting artwork promotes advocacy for social change and empowerment.
