Cummer Museum Exhibit: “Women’s Rights Movement” by Teresa Cook “Aint I A Woman”

May 7

Sojourner Truth delivered her renowned address at the Ohio Women’s Convention in Akron in 1851. Though initially untitled, the speech gained fame as "Ain’t I a Woman?" It played a pivotal role in highlighting the intersectional struggles faced by Black women, shedding light on the disparities in rights due to both race and gender.

This painting was created with watercolor and acrylic paint. The image is 18 x 24” framed.

“Aint I A Woman”, (2024) A little detail in the process of completion. This painting is 24” x 36” on yupo paper. I used watercolor and acrylic ink to create this painting. Visit the Cummer Museum to see the completed painting till June 16, 2024.
