"Lakshmi, Hecate, Medusa, and Brigid mingle with Rosa Parks, X, Marsha P. Johnson, Bernadette Devlin McAliskey, and Nell McCafferty, among others. Each pendant could be worn close to the heart as devotional amulets, offering spiritual protection in times of need. Attached low, each portrait entices the viewer to get on their knees, like a supplicant before a hallowed altar. An act of restorative justice, The Map redraws the borders of the past by reclaiming the histories of rebellious women as part of a millennia-long struggle for female liberation."
