Through a highly competitive process, works of five emerging Georgia women artists have been chosen for the exhibition “New Worlds: Georgia Women to Watch,” on view at Atlanta Contemporary Jan. 27 – June 4.

From varied and diverse backgrounds, these artists find common ground in contemplating an uncertain future during a time of cultural, political and environmental change. The exhibition, organized by the Georgia Committee of the National Museum of Women in the Arts, explores how our societal conditions have impacted each artist’s visions for the future, or inspired them to create alternative realities.

“New Worlds” co-curators Melissa Messina and Sierra King joined “City Lights” host Lois Reitzes via Zoom to talk more about the works on display.
