Reclaimed Spirit Exhibition

Experience a captivating journey of resilience, empowerment, and artistic expression at the exhibition "Reclaimed Spirit." This one-of-a-kind event celebrates the inner strength and unique stories of four remarkable women who have triumphed over societal pressures and emerged as powerful symbols of self-acceptance. They challenge the notion that certain features make us feel small or ashamed, and instead, showcase their inherent beauty and uniqueness. These very attributes, often deemed unconventional, broken or abnormal, hold the power to celebrate our individuality and help shape our personal narratives. These four remarkable women have graciously volunteered to bare their souls, sharing their stories of reclaiming what they once believed to be unloved, lost, or damaged.

Join us on August 11th 5:30pm at the River and Rail Theatre in Knoxville, TN, for an unforgettable evening that combines the transformative power of photography, video, music, and poetry. Be prepared to embark on a journey that will challenge your perceptions and inspire a newfound appreciation for the beauty found within ourselves and others.

Through video interviews and captivating behind-the-scenes footage provided by Ronald Levy, we will delve into the personal journeys of four extraordinary women. Witness their raw emotions, vulnerabilities, and triumphs as they share the struggles they faced and overcame, shedding light on societal expectations surrounding body image, hair loss, perfection, and motherhood.

At the heart of the exhibition are the awe-inspiring portraits captured by award winning luxury portrait photographer, Jasmine Newton. Each photograph is a testament to the strength, beauty, and individuality of these women. Jasmine lovingly captures their essence, revealing the captivating uniqueness that society once deemed unworthy or flawed.

Immerse yourself in the soulful vibes of live jazz music performed by the talented, Taber Gable. Let the melodies wash over you, resonating with the stories and emotions unveiled throughout the exhibition. And prepare to be moved by the soulful spoken word poetry of Coy Kindred, whose words beautifully reflect the shared journey of self-discovery and empowerment.

This extraordinary event is not just a showcase of art but a call to embrace our own beauty and defy the expectations placed upon us. It invites you to see beyond society's narrow definition of perfection and celebrate the authentic beauty that lies within each of us.
