The ARTISTS FORMERLY KNOWN AS WOMEN (AFKAW) share a long history of activist, feminist art.
Since 2006, our collaborations have consisted of installations, wall pieces, web pieces, videos and outdoor work focused on social justice and environmental issues, such as water, recycling and climate change and its relationship to the human condition.
Our collective is: Nancy Buchanan, Monica Chau, Deborah Krall, Sheila Pinkel, Karen Schwenkmeyer, Suzanne Siegel, Laura Silagi.
