Property Of seeks to answer the questions, How much does your uterus cost? Who does it belong to? From the onset of your first period, the financial responsibility and associated burdens of your uterus has fallen solely on your shoulders. If you’re not allowed ownership of your uterus, then who is responsible for the financial journey and the burdens associated with maintaining the uterus?
Property Of occurs in two phases. The first being data collection. I’ve conducted interviews with potential participants, community leaders and organizations that focuses on women’s issues, reproductive health and associated issues to create this questionnaire.
The second phase is data presentation. An installation of handmade clay uteri with their price tags attached. Each uterus and price tag will be created by hand. The name of the participant will appear on the womb of the uterus and the price tag will have the tally of the participants’ uterine journey. Every participants financial journal will be different. Property Of acts as a visual and tangible tally of the immense financial, societal, and emotional burden fixed on those with a uterus.
Located at the restored Travers Row, the space serves as both a working artist studio and exhibition space. Visitors can experience original paintings, sculptures, and mixed media artwork while exploring one of Omaha’s historic preservation projects. The studio reflects Travers Row’s mission of blending history, creativity, and community through adaptive reuse
BLACK GIRL JUJU MAGIC is a peek into the process of a lifelong artist rediscovering her practice and her hand presented through a lens of artistic experimentation and storytelling that is deeply intimate, while resonating widely. In new and recent works, Conyers-Hinson explores her artistic foundations and new motivations in her art making, in some cases breathing new life into decades old concepts and designs. With a deep understanding of visual language and nonlinear storytelling, Conyers-Hinson presents a nuanced, though specific, portrayal of Black Americana which serves as a backdrop as she oscillates between family histories, her childhood, and societal narratives. Newer interests and explorations are laid plainly in works such as Voices (2025) which recalls graphic design of the psychedelic and postmodern movements paired with motifs that reach across an ocean and generations. Acting as an archive of the self BLACK GIRL JUJU MAGIC is a reminder to reach back and remember yourself.
