Join us at the Saint Louis Art Museum for our annual celebration of women in the arts as the panelists discuss how art and science have shaped their work.

This year’s If It Wasn’t for the Women panel focuses on science, shape, and self. Three local artists, Wyndi DeSouza, Eugenia Alexander, and Yusra Ali, will talk about how science has played a role in the artwork they create.

Wyndi DeSouza utilizes photography, video, drawing, installation, books, and mail to create what she calls “abstract data.” http://bit.ly/2rGzLph

Yusra Ali curated St. Louis’ first Muslim art exhibition in April 2017 and utilizes geometric shapes commonly found in mosques to consider questions related to identity.

Eugenia Alexander is a multimedia artist who draws her inspirations from traditional African symbolism and textile design. http://bit.ly/2rDSTod

Through lines, circles, triangles, and other geometric shapes each of these extraordinary artists create works of art that harmoniously negotiate the space between art and science.
