“MaMa Women in the Arts” (curated by Rabéa Ballin) explores diversity through the lens of photography, textile, design, painting, and sculpture. The traditional and non-traditional approaches by Houston artists Brittney Anele, Julie DeVries, Shannon Duncan, Noélle Mulder, Preetika Rajgariah, and Lovie Olivia bring a unique cross pollination of practice and audience to activate a new–The Union. Proceeds of MaMA will benefit the Houston based nonprofit JJ`s I`m Me Foundation, which encourages at risk middle and high school girls to be the best version of themselves, by exposing them to leaders and influencers in the community who provide career development, lifestyle planning, health and wellness training, and character education.
