This show at CoCA brings together Seattle artists who identify themselves as feminist and also do not have gallery representation. The lineup includes ceramicist Hanako O’Leary, who creates vagina vessels and Japanese Hannya-inspired masks that replace faces with labias. It’s pretty metal. Ann Leda Shapiro’s sexually explicit Anger—which the Whitney Museum of Art refused to hang in her one-person show in 1973—will also make an appearance. Stranger Genius Award winner C. Davida Ingram, as well as Sheila Klein, Alice Dubiel, Deborah Faye Lawrence, Cecilia Concepción Alvarez, Dawn Cerny, E.T. Russian, and the Guerrilla Girls themselves, round out the show.
