Description: “Women’s Work,” featuring art created by Eliana Calle Saari honoring women’s work during the pandemic, in Gallery 2001 at Ohio Wesleyan’s Beeghly Library, 43 Rowland Ave., Delaware.
For several months in 2020, Saari was locked behind the closed borders of the Caribbean island of Antigua. The prints and books on display document her observations of the women of this island nation who continued to fulfill their duty as workers, mothers and caregivers in a time of uncertainty, fear and hope. This piece of work is Saari’s love letter to women who show strength and perseverance in the face of adversity.
