The Voodoo Doll Show
Witch CRAFT - That voodoo that you do sew well...
Every day brings a new worry, a fresh outrage, another attempt to divide us. We are at a turning point—teetering toward fascism and isolation, and away from justice, unity, and our global community.
The anxiety is real. The anger is justified. But we don’t have to go down this path quietly—or at all.
A coven of righteous, fed-up artists has decided it's time to take action. To call out those intent on stripping away our power—our feminine strength, our human rights, our freedoms. So we’re crafting a collection of voodoo dolls, each one targeting the real culprits behind our collective distress. Join us.
This interactive exhibition opens at the Los Angeles Makery on June 7, 2025. Step into the circle, grab a few pins, and figuratively stick it to those who deserve your ire.
Let’s hex the haters—with art.

This unique show will transform the gallery into a vibrant, neon-lit environment, showcasing artworks that come alive under the glow of ultraviolet light.
Concept: "Glow" is an exploration of the transformative power of light in art. We seek innovative and visually striking pieces that incorporate fluorescent materials, neon colors, or other UV-reactive elements.
