Yellow Roses: Emily Morgan & Mythic Women of Texas
Yellow Roses: Emily Morgan and the Mythic and Historic Women of Texas
Art Exhibit and Lecture and Performance Series
at Bihl Haus Arts
Feb. 22nd-Mar. 22nd
Yellow Roses: Emily Morgan and the Mythic and Historic Women of Texas, organized by Jacqui Dorsey and presented at Bihl Haus Arts, focuses on the image of Texas women and the general absence of information on them in Texas histories. This show is titled Yellow Roses, an obvious reference to Emily Morgan and a metaphor for all women of Texas, from every ethnic and cultural background, who have been generally excluded from the 'official' history of the state.
Yellow Roses presents art works that explore this subject from multiple perspectives by artists who themselves also come from varied ethnic and cultural backgrounds. We include the word "mythic," which also allows us to explore the oral histories and thus mental ”pictures” of Texas women like Emily Morgan.
The exhibition opens on Friday, Feb. 22nd, the first day of the siege of the Alamo, continues through the 13-day siege period, and closes on March 22nd. The scheduling of the show also coincides with Black History Month (February)--Emily Morgan and the position of African American women vis-a-vis Texas history will be featured--and Women's History Month. (March)
