Taking Up Space

Taking Up Space

On view January 30 - March 26, 2021, this deeply personal and intimate group show featured a diverse group of women artists who share their stories, cultures, and perspectives through their artistic practice. Staged to supplement rather than negate the typically male-dominated exhibitions of the past, this show recognized how vital diversity and representation are in galleries and museums, as it is in the world at large. This exhibit sought to highlight the struggles and strengths of these artists, offering visitors the opportunity to gain new insights into experiences outside their own.
