Description:
Glencoe Mansion, Museum & Gallery presents the Opening Reception for their new gallery exhibit featuring the photography of Alex Moral and titled "We the Women: Portraits of Empowerment" on Friday, March 4, 2022.

Alex Moral is a women’s portrait photographer based in Blacksburg, Virginia. Prior to moving to the USA in 2015, she worked for six years in Spain, Germany, and England as a professional photographer, specializing in women’s portraiture. Currently, she is pursuing an MFA in Photography at Radford University.

Women’s empowerment is synonymous with promoting a women’s sense of self-worth. In her show, "We the Women: Portraits of Empowerment", Moral does just that. She captures female empowerment in different forms while embracing diversity, body and self positivity, and the stories that celebrate womanhood. Moral says that her “photographs capture her interest in embracing womanhood and understanding women’s emotions”. Moral has an eye to capture a single, powerful moment in time that not only invites the viewer to connect and resonate with the depicted women, but also serves to inspire the viewer, both women and men alike.

To celebrate Women’s History Month, the exhibit will be on display throughout the months of March and April.

”We the Women: Portraits of Empowerment” is an ever growing collection that received The Puffin Foundation grant award in 2018.

There is no admission charge.

This gallery show is appropriate for all ages.

The exhibit will be on display from Tuesday, March 1st to Saturday, April 30th.

In accordance with Glencoe’s guidelines, face masks are required for entry into the museum.
