FEMME opens up…
In this dual interview by Hannah Einhorn w/ curator Brooke Hoffert and Emily April Allen, photography provides a snapshot of a community finding each other.
From conversation abt physical spaces to physical bodies, fluid discussion abt dynamic fluidity and time-frozen portraiture, the conversation abt queer art in the south continues as much on the website as in person.
Come together and enjoy each other in a “collaborative community experience.”
Great convo by @brooke_haileyh@femmeartgallery@emdashphotos@hannah.elizabeth.einhorn

Drake started creating these pieces during the pandemic two years ago and it is her first solo exhibition at the gallery.
Currently based in Nashville, Drake is a graduate of the Maryland Institute College of Art (MICA) with a BFA in sculpture with a concentration in sustainability and social practice. She is the co-founder of JAWBRKR which designs and builds sculpture and interactive experiences.
