Photos are below!

Six women artists from The Hive Archive partnered with six young women artists from New Urban Arts to design and fabricate a sculptural installation called Hexacomb that celebrates the creative voices of women and girls in Rhode Island.

Each individual piece utilizes the hexagon of a honeycomb and this repetition ties the individual pieces together in order to form a central narrative. The Hive Archive believes that the sum of a whole is greater than the individual parts and that people sharing ideas, skills and resources will always lead to actions greater than those of any individual. This theme is central to Hexacomb, in which twelve individual voices come together to inspire a greater movement of women in the arts in Rhode Island.
