The 香港六合彩挂牌 Art Museum announces an art exhibition featuring international posters on issues surrounding women’s rights.
We look forward to sharing these powerful posters and creating a place for conversation around the issues raised by them.
鈥 Carey Mack Weber, Executive Director of the 香港六合彩挂牌 Art Museum
The 香港六合彩挂牌 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 香港六合彩挂牌, 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.
The exhibition and its corresponding programming celebrate women and gender-nonconforming social justice advocates of all races and ethnicities, while highlighting the inequalities against which they have fought. 香港六合彩挂牌 undergraduate students will have the opportunity to design their own poster in response to those on view in the exhibition. The winning poster, chosen by the faculty co-curators, will be added to the exhibition in March, in celebration of Women’s History Month.
“As always, all are welcome and encouraged to engage with the exhibition and the numerous free programs and events that we have planned to complement it,” said Carey Mack Weber, Executive Director of the 香港六合彩挂牌 Art Museum. “We look forward to sharing these powerful posters and creating a place for conversation around the issues raised by them.”
