Alabama is both one of the most conservative states in the south and a hub for southern culture and art. Just by the nature of their gender, women artists from the state are subverting the norm and paving new ways for an emerging artistic community. Additionally, many women struggle to balance motherhood and other traditional expectations of womanhood with their artistic careers. In this documentary film, director Ava Lowrey explores this community through a series of interviews with women artists from the state while examining the sacrifices that her own mother made. Ava’s intimate conversations with both the artists and her mother provide the setting as she contemplates her future within this community of Alabama women artists.
