The 14th Annual Women's History Conference
Women, The Arts and Activism

Friday-Saturday, March 2-3, 2012
Free and open to the public

Historically, women have been seen and represented as protectors and transmitters of culture, yet, although some women gained recognition as artists, many more struggled to be seen, heard, and taken seriously. As in other disciplines, women bring their own diverse voices and points of view to the canvas, writing table, music stand, stage, and street. From Renaissance painters to contemporary hip hop and performance artists, women represent their particular journeys as singular personalities and as members of various groups. Whoever they are and from wherever they hail, their expression expands our global understanding of women's history. Additionally, the Women's History Conference at its core is about women's activism. Throughout time, women have used their artistic expression as a method of activism. This year we will explore the ways in which women have used their art as means of liberation.
