Becoming Baba Yaga
Social Practice Art Project
Becoming Baba Yaga is a social practice art project in progress, expected to be completed in June 2026. 13 post menopausal women have worked with Dawn on the development of their own personal "crone"- an embodiment of the power they have found in themselves in their postmenopausal era. Each woman has been photographed as their crone by Barb Briggs and their stories are being written by Dawn into an immersive photo and storybook.
