FRESNO, CALIF (PNAN) – “A Queen Within Adorned Archetypes” remains on view through January 8, 2023 at the Fresno Art Museum, an exhibition that explores new femininity and storytelling in boundary-pushing fashion.
The Queen Within features more than 100 articles of fashion, photography, and videos presented in a dramatic gallery design that explores seven archetypal personality types, including Mother Earth, Sage, Enchantress, Explorer, Heroine, Magician and Thespian.
“Fashion is art in motion that speaks to all generations and cultures,” said Fresno Art Museum Executive Director Michele Ellis Pracy.
Derived from recurring motifs in myths and fairy tales of world literature, these archetypes are used to help unpack our understanding of the visual symbolism of female identity.
