Labor: Artist Talk
Virtual Artist Talk: Thursday, June 4th, 2026 · 7 PM EST
Join us for a conversation with the artists and curator behind LABOR, Hera Gallery's year-long exhibition exploring the invisible, unending, and uncredited work most often assigned to those designated female at birth.
From domestic routines and bodily labor to emotional management and wage inequity, LABOR asks us to sit with the full weight of what "women's work" actually means -- and who has been quietly holding it all along.
This talk will bring together the voices behind the 52 works in the exhibition for an open conversation about their practice, their relationship to the themes, and what it means to make visible what society has long preferred to leave unseen.

Threading Time and Place
Exhibition Dates: June 27 - August 1
Opening Reception: Saturday, August 27 · 6–8 PM
Hera Gallery and Educational Foundation is excited to present Threading Time and Place, a project that has been conceived in alignment with the national commemoration of the 250th anniversary of the American Revolution and, more specifically, the role of Rhode Island in the birth of the Nation. Hera was awarded a grant from the RI250 Commission to partially fund this exhibition.
RI250 is a commemoration, organized by the RI250 Commission, of the ideals of hope, freedom, justice, and independence, themes that have similarly shaped Hera‘s exhibition history for over 50 years. Threading Time and Place aims to engage the community in a dialogue about the textile industry that built South County, and reflect on how this shared history may illuminate our understanding of ourselves in the present socio-cultural context and influence our choices as we collectively shape the future.
Hera Gallery artists Uli Brahmst, Sonja Czekalski, Joanne Delmonico, Karen Dolmanish, Kathie Florsheim, Michelle Henning, Barbara Pagh, Jaimee Roberts, Susan Sancomb, Sarah Swift, Viera Levitt, and Wendy Wahl will exhibit works that speak to the core themes of freedom, equality, and independence, as well as the dynamic aspects of revolution, ranging from historical perspectives to current manifestations.
Historical objects, photographs, and ephemera will be loaned and on view from the Wakefield Mill owner, Eric Bell, and the South County History Center in Kingston.
