Mary Mihelic - Running Girls

Join Riverviews Artspace with its current exhibits. Mary Mihelic’s Running Girls series is inspired by the courage of the schoolgirls who ran for their lives and escaped from the Boko Haram terrorists in Nigeria when they attacked their school and kidnapped their classmates. The term “boko haram” translated means “Western education is a sin,” and the group believes that women should not be educated; instead, women should be used as cooks or sex slaves. The art reflects on war under the guise of religion, religious freedom, education for women, and global feminism. Gallery hours are by appointment.
