What happens when it’s socially possible for women to participate in the workforce in a meaningful and equitable way?
Join us for a special virtual panel discussion facilitated by artist Sawyer Rose. We will unpack the many themes present in her exhibition Carrying Stones, including the gender pay gap, leadership advancement opportunities for women, gendered expectations and requirements, workforce participation and retention, and breaking through the glass ceiling. Let’s examine the structures of our society and reflect on the barriers, opportunities, and systems that women face and navigate daily. Guest panelists include Dawline, Lauren and, Sara. All three women have participated in Rose’s project, Carrying Stones.
This virtual program is sponsored by the County of Santa Clara Commission on the Status of Women.
