The Village Well Books & Coffee presents Free To Sp%@k!, a group exhibition by Southern California fiber artists Kathryn Pellman, Kelly Hartigan Goldstein, and Marty Ornish, who test the tensile strength of free expression when language itself has become a battleground. The artists pose a direct question:
What happens to a democracy when the First Amendment is treated as negotiable rather than fundamental?
Moving between hush and outcry within tactile mediums of fiber and paper, these works engage the contested public square where dissent is labeled threat and expression comes under mounting pressure. Long considered unassuming women's work, feminine craft has a rich tradition of saying what needs to be said while hiding in plain sight. When speech becomes dangerous, stitching becomes defiance, transforming quiet craft into bold political commentary on democracy's fragile foundations.
