At each monthly convening of Women Walking to Water, Melanie Mowinski provided the
participating artists with a different question and reading to center each conversation
around Wilderness Mindset. She asked, "how is Wilderness Mindset a tool to recenter
the soul; a process to help release reaching; a way to reframe fear; a feminist reclamation
of freedom; eco-theological and an invitation to redefine dominion; and how is all
of this about becoming?" Join the artists as they share some of their answers to these
questions and more.
This panel and conversation is part of Women Walking to Water: A Wilderness Mindset Convening, an exhibition, film screening, and conversation centered on Wilderness Mindset,
a methodology and framework developed by Professor of Art Melanie Mowinski as a way
to embrace uncertainty and practice embodiment. Women Walking to Water is on view at Gallery 51 from February 7 - March 28, 2025.
This event is free and open to the public.
