Angels Gate Cultural Center (AGCC) presents UPEND Female Experience and Activism, a new group exhibition featuring contemporary women artists. Providing a counter to the increased societal distress of a return to toxic hypermasculinity, UPEND depicts strength and resistance in a decidedly female-identifying voice – upending expectations for what can and cannot be said, and how women should act.

UPEND includes works by Kennedi Carter, Nonny de la Peña with Emblematic Group, Ibuki Kuramochi, Andrea Patrie, Elyse Pignolet, She Loves Collective, Suzanna Scott, Sheli Silverio, and Kayla Tange and is curated by AGCC Director of Exhibitions, Cecelia Koger.

UPEND Female Experience and Activism explores contemporary, intersectional feminist issues through the lens of radical empathy for the female experience. Works explore both the inner personal lives of women and their outward expressions of resistance. UPEND is a response to the cultural resurgence of hypertoxic masculinity and recent political upheavals diminishing bodily autonomy and rights for women. By sharing the unique perspectives of women, UPEND hopes to create empathy for the experiences of others.

UPEND Female Experience and Activism will be on view in the gallery alongside Displacing Structures through August 17th, 2024 with free public visiting hours Thursdays through Saturdays, from 10am to 4pm. Please note that pets are not allowed inside our buildings. For questions, please email gallery@angelsgateart.org.

This exhibition is supported by the California Natural Resources Agency for the Museum Grant Program under the California Cultural and Historical Endowment, the Department of Cultural Affairs, City of Los Angeles, and the Pasadena Art Alliance.
