Nuns and Social Justice Come Together in This Art Installation

Artist Lexa Walsh's "Sisters InfoShop" is an exhibition and socially engaged project at Grand Central Art Center in Santa Ana co-designed with the Sisters of St. Joseph of Orange. Incorporating conversational sculptures reconfigured from vintage school desks and prayer kneelers and a kiosk reminiscent of punk infoshops, the project aims to spark connection while highlighting the sisters' legacy of activism through a feminist lens. Learn more about the project and meet Sister Ellen, a miming nun who activates the space every month at the Santa Ana Artwalk.
