Johanna Foster, Ph.D., professor of Sociology and the Helen Bennett McMurray Endowed Chair in Social Ethics, is presenting a solo exhibition at the New Jersey City University Visual Arts Gallery through May 28.
Titled "Formidable Women, Dangerous Times," the exhibition features a powerful body of figurative painting inspired by fierce women, both real and imagined, who have inspired courage and perseverance in devastating times.
Through a series of evocative portraits ranging from larger-than-life renderings to small scale works, Foster explores themes of personal and political resistance. The exhibition invites viewers to reflect on women's strength while offering a space for connection, recognition, and healing.
The gallery, located at 100 Culver Ave., Jersey City, and is open Monday through Friday, from noon to 5 p.m. Appointments outside regular hours may be scheduled by emailing [email protected].
Foster recently received the Donald Warncke Award for her commitment to service and dedication to Monmouth University and its faculty union, where she served as president and chief negotiator from 2019 to 2025.
