The 2 Paintings on display by artist Carol Rashawnna Williams:

1. Evolution of the Soul

It takes a village to raise a child. To eat 1 fish given to you settles starvation, but to learn to fish brings on abundance for you and those around you. What do we stand for as a nation, as an intricate part of a solution we created regarding both heritage and legacy? Can we face our privilege, assumptions, and historical empirical legacy of consumption at any cost?; cultures, the environment and human souls. Equity & legacy: evolution in action; Co existing with nature, the environment, ourselves and...

Almost exactly 100 years ago Margaret Sanger, the founder of what is now called Planned Parenthood, began her crusade for reproductive freedom. She believed:

A woman has a right to control her body.
Everyone should be able to decide when and whether to have a child.
Every child should be wanted and loved.
Women are as entitled as men to sexual pleasure and fulfillment.

In the last 100 years we have made tremendous strides in reproductive freedom for women. But recent attempts have been made to turn back the clock and not only deny a woman’s right to choose, but to restrict access and funding for birth control and reproductive health care.

As Ellen Hochberg spoke with other women she found that she was not the only one who was frustrated. 'We couldn’t keep silent, we needed to be heard. I asked fellow artists to come together and use their artistic voices to explore this issue. We’ve put together a show called “Who does she think she is?” 31...

Carol Rashawnna Williams will have her painting 'Poverty Line' on exhibit in the artshow Who Does She Thinks She Is October 4, 2012 at Tashiro Kaplan Arts Complex, Corridor Gallery

In the Last year or so there have been many attempts by conservative politicians to deny a woman's right to chose and to deny access and funding for women's reproductive health care. To Quote Nobel Laureate Leymah Gbowee (the Liberian peace activist responsible for leading a woman's peace movement that brought an end to the second Liberian Civil War in 2003). 'It's time for women to stop being politely angry.'
And it is time for us to put our artist's voices to the anger and concern over these issues.
