american gurl: home — land

SaveArtSpace x Womxn in Windows is proud to present American Gurl: home — land, a group public art exhibition on billboard ad space in Los Angeles, CA, during Frieze Los Angeles, opening February 14, 2024, curated by Zehra Zehra & Kilo Kish.

Guided by the central question, “How do we re-imagine the American Dream to include the hopes, musings, and fantasies of women?” home — land interrogates our relationships with the land we inhabit, examining how experiences with the natural world influence our understanding of self. The exhibition further explores the concept of home, how locations shape our identities and reflect on themes of diaspora and displacement, revealing how these narratives inform our collective connection to place.

The works presented will elucidate the artists' diverse relationships to land, space, and community in America. They celebrate beauty while mourning its loss, advocating for transformation and regeneration. As land and water provide a sense of belonging, the American Gurl seeks to challenge the archetypal American woman, encouraging new visions of self and country. This exhibition functions as a play lab for reflection, connection, and the celebration of unique perspectives, serving as a mirror to reflect our nation more completely and inviting us to consider how our feminine identities and natural environment are intertwined. Through this exploration, we envision a more inclusive and nuanced narrative of the American Dream.

Public art will be on view starting February 14, 2025 in Los Angeles, CA, and will be on view for at least one month.
