“Since the 1800s—and particularly since the 1960s—womxn’s movements have deeply changed U.S. culture and laws, affecting nearly all aspects of our lives. While there is still much work to be done, this exhibition seeks to celebrate womxn’s accomplishments and the ways that their fight for equal rights, power, and respect has improved our world. This includes accomplishments in our own lives and personal sphere.

From ecofeminism to uplifting care for family members and friends to womxn CEOs to a female vice president to body positivity to intersectional solidarity with people of color, those with disabilities, LGBTQIA+ individuals, and other marginalized identities to listening and mindfulness to inventions and humanitarian efforts to alternative visions of our world to untold stories and histories that made a difference and more—we want to shine a light on the historic and contemporary achievements and influences of womxn. 

Just as womxn’s work and accomplishments have seeped into almost every aspect of culture, this show calls for work that pervades the gallery space and appears everywhere: 

-overhead, hanging from the ceiling; 

-under the viewer’s nose, on the floor and in the corners; 

-pushing the idea of art further with unexpected media and presentation styles that invade the viewer’s space, draw the viewer in, or ask the viewer to actively participate; 

-and ambitious work that looks to a bright future where womxn’s work continues on forever, making the world a better place for all.”
