Whitney Bradshaw: OUTCRY
January 12 – March 16, 2023

Artist reception: Thursday, January 12th, 6-8pm

“Whitney Bradshaw launched her OUTCRY project on the night of the Women’s March in 2018, the series has grown to more than four hundred portraits of womxn from all walks of life who have chosen to take a stand against a culture that too often dismisses womxn’s voices. Drawing from her background in social work, the Chicago-based artist invites groups of womxn who are not previously acquainted with each other into her studio for “scream sessions,” where they can express emotions—ranging from rage to sorrow to laughter—in a brave and supportive environment designed to cultivate a spirit of feminist solidarity across different life experiences. The resulting photographic portraits challenge expectations around how womxn—and in particular, women’s anger—are portrayed in portraiture and mainstream culture. Together the intimate representations of womxn’s power and expression that Bradshaw captures, become a monumental act of collective resistance. 199 of Bradshaw’s portraits will be on view at PCNW for the first exhibition of OUTCRY in the Pacific Northwest. ”
