The Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê¹ÒÅÆ Art Museum announces an art exhibition featuring international posters on issues surrounding women’s rights.
The Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê¹ÒÅÆ Art Museum will host Women’s Rights Are Human Rights: International Posters on Gender-Based Inequality, Violence, and Discrimination in the museum’s Walsh Gallery, Jan. 20 through April 6, 2023. The gallery will host an opening reception from 6 to 8 p.m. on Thursday, Jan. 19.
The exhibition features more than 70 large-format posters, created by designers from all over the world, highlighting the long-standing fight for gender equality as it relates to Black, Indigenous, people of color, LGBTQIA+ and gender-nonconforming communities. It was originally organized and curated by Elizabeth Resnick, MFA, professor emerita, Massachusetts College of Art and Design. The exhibition, Resnick explained, “features posters created by both men and women to celebrate and acknowledge the vital role that all citizens should play in protecting and promoting human rights, while actively challenging gender inequality and stereotypes, and advancing sexual and reproductive rights.“
At Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê¹ÒÅÆ, the exhibition has been co-curated by a group of faculty members in the Women, Gender and Sexuality Studies program: Rachelle Brunn-Bevel, PhD; Elizabeth Hohl, PhD; Johanna Garvey, PhD; and Anna Lawrence, PhD.
