Gallery Mondays: ‘Unbranded: A Century of White Women, 1915-2015’
I just got back to New York after a week of vacation, and I’m going to be really honest: I wish I’d stayed longer. I love NYC and all, but the city stresses are already creeping back onto me. However, looking at this piece from Hank Willis Thomas’ Unbranded: A Century of White Women reminds me…
