For her first show at Ivester, filmmaker, visual artist, and moth keeper Virginia L. Montgomery makes her thoughts on Texas regressive reproductive politics known – loudly and with a DeWalt power drill. Inspired by “a pagan sect of protective high priestesses from ancient Rome” whose name makes up two-thirds of the show’s title, this capsule collection utilizes both video work as well as photography referencing modernity and antiquity. Its contents are dedicated to Josseli Barnica and Nevaeh Crain, two Texan women lost this year due to miscarriage complications that might’ve been prevented with better health care legislation. – James Scott
