Bria Woods presents The Herstory Project Screening and Panel Talk on the Patio
Photographer Bria Woods created The Herstory Project in 2021 to amplify and archive the stories of women leaders through portraits and audio recordings. The Project consists of four chapters, so far, each focusing on a different topic and featuring portraits of women in our city. Woods has photographed and interviewed 50 women in the San Antonio area. Their audio recordings offer a glimpse into their unique lived experiences as chefs, business owners, mothers, colleagues, friends, wives, educators, lawyers, and more. The most recent installation of The Herstory Project brought all the portraits together in one space for the first-ever Herstory Project Reunion. Woods worked with local filmmaker and cinematographer Joshua Aldama to tell the story of this milestone moment. Join Bria, Aldama, and a few women from the project as we discuss The Reunion film and the conversations The Herstory Project is starting in our community.
ABOUT THE EXHIBITION
The Glorious Diary of Herstory brings together three artists—Bria Woods, Sonya Rosario, and Barbara Felix—whose practices intersect through listening, witnessing, and honoring women’s lived experiences. Through movement, conversation, and presence, this exhibition documents stories often shared in intimate spaces and embodied gestures rather than written pages.
Across video, interview, and painting, the artists create forms of visual testimony—capturing women as they speak, sit, remember, and move. Rosario’s mother’s sofa becomes a site of revelation, where conversation unfolds across shifting locations and contexts. Through photographic portraiture shaped by storytelling, Woods brings visibility to women whose everyday lives shape the community. Felix weaves women’s voices gathered through individual interviews into painted movement, allowing dance to carry memory, joy, and lived experience. For all three artists, recorded voices preserve personal histories that ripple outward into collective memory.
Rather than offering a singular narrative, the exhibition unfolds as a living diary—one shaped by many voices, many bodies, and many ways of telling. Together, these works affirm storytelling as an act of care, resistance, and celebration, honoring the dignity, complexity, and glory of the herstory of women.

Barbara Felix is a San Antonio-based contemporary figurative painter and interdisciplinary artist. Her ongoing project, The Glorious Way She Moves, invites women into movement and conversation about their lives and how they move through the world. Working across drawing, painting, video, and sound, her practice explores connection, resilience, and embodied storytelling. Drawing from video documentation, interview and collaboration, Felix creates paintings in which gesture becomes a vessel for voice and lived experience. Her work has been exhibited locally, nationally, and internationally, and is held in public and private collections. She is actively engaged in the San Antonio arts community serving on the boards of the San Antonio Ethnic Art Society (SAEAS) and Contemporary Art Month (CAM).

ABOUT ‘Art Everywhere Project’
Since 2020, Centro San Antonio’s Art Everywhere Project has celebrated art and artists by sharing San Antonio’s stories and culture, installing over 200 temporary works on building exteriors, alleys, windows and other underutilized spaces. Earlier this year, with a goal of continuing to offer local artists more space for awareness and opportunity, Centro launched its new Art Everywhere Project pop-up gallery at La Zona, with monthly artist-curated exhibitions that connect the community.
