Force Field | Bonnie Conly

Reception Date
to

Force Field is an installation of 100 original Motanka (Мотанка) dolls—Ukrainian talismans believed to embody female spirit and power - created here as a metaphor for the resoluteness of Ukrainian women and contextualized as a message of hope for the Ukrainian people. Motanka-making is an ancient art—a channel for the continuous connection between generations of family—past, living, and unborn. Once the cloth pieces are prepared, no needles or scissors can be used for assembly, ensuring safety for the ancestor-protectors.

Join us for the opening reception on Saturday, September 20, from 1 to 3 pm.
