for her

jane doe exhibit

a series of encautic painting

wax sculptures and film of

women finding their voice

jane doe

"throughout time, the voices of women have been silenced by

gender, bias, war, poverty, racism and religious persecution
jane doe brings to life the voices of forgotten women who have

contributed to the framework of society, who carried on

traditions of their ancestors, preserved and carried on the

dreams of their generation in their hearts. i chose the name

jane doe as all of these women are unknown to us and yet they

have had impact on our lives.

i wish to honour them and to give voice to their stories.

all of these stories are true and are based on information

gathered from interviews with relatives, photos, letters and archives.

my hope is that this exhibit will give others the courage to

tell their stories"~heather gentleman

if you get a chance to stop by

the exhibit is on until

august 29th
