The Smile Series
by TraNisha (Triggy) Herrington
Exhibition Dates: through August 2020
Location: Terminal 2, Post-Security, between gates E33 & E34
This selection of The Smile Series was created by Triggy as a way to spark conversation and challenge traditional societal views of women, particularly the need for women to smile despite what they may be enduring in their personal lives. All five women in the exhibition are featured without smiling. The absence of a smile helps convey the message that women are not just for show, but have an important role in changing the narrative of many social settings.
The exhibition is composed of five portraits, Ophelia, Angee, Earline, Winnie, and Amber, each made from paper pulp, acrylic, dye, and wood that together create the multidimensional faces of women of color throughout the St. Louis area.
