Wendy Phillips: Ephemeral Musings

Opening Reception: Sunday, September 20
from 2 to 5 p.m.

Wendy Phillips' work is informed and inspired by the ethnographic research project she has been doing with women of African and North American indigenous descent in the communities of Oaxaca and Guerrero, Mexico. La Limpia Project was inspired by what she learned about Afromestizo women's conceptualization of illness and their rituals related to healing. In this series, her body is the location of the rituals, and her photographs include the ritual objects and symbols the women use in their traditional practices.
