WANDA EWING TRIBUTE EXHIBITION
Reception: Friday, March 20, Black Cultural Center, 6pm-8:30pm
Wanda Ewing: a printmaker, painter, collage and multimedia artist and latch hook maven. Inspired by images found in popular culture, her work addresses social issues using humor as a starting point. As a viewer you will always be surprised (maybe even shocked) into looking inward and evaluating—then perhaps re-evaluating—your opinions about race, female beauty standards, sexuality and identity. Wanda Ewing unexpectedly passed away in 2013 in Nebraska due to complications from chemotherapy. Both respected and admired Wanda was a role model to many and cherished member of the both national and international printmaking community. This exhibit pays tribute to her long career presence and achievements as a gifted artist.
