Opening reception October 13 4-5:30 pm, 5:30 Slideshow and talk by Amy Arbus, world renowned award-winning photographer
The gender component of emotional memory is linked to the amygdala (an almond-shaped emotion locus in both hemispheres of the brain.) For women, the left side of the amygdala appears to drive emotional recall much more vividly than for men. Women also have nine brain regions actively involved in the imprinting and commitment to memory of emotionally rich stimuli, whereas men have only two.

This show is both a celebration and inquiry into the feminine nature of memory. How does what we remember — and forget — influence artistic process and output? Each artist, through her own personal experience, reveals how memories can function as the ultimate fabric of self expression and storytelling.
