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 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.

In this Community Conversation, we will explore the role of public art and policymaking in recognizing the labor and legacies of women’s work. Inspired by the themes present in Sawyer Rose’s exhibition, let’s discuss how we hold space for women as institutions, individuals, and collectives.

Join us in conversation with Womanhood Project. Womanhood, a project of Art Builds Community, is an arts-based initiative that explores different ways to commemorate women from all intersectional identities and their significant contributions to the region and beyond. Womanhood is an initiative through the County of Santa Clara Office of Women's Policy. You can learn more about Womanhood Project here!

In this Community Conversation, we will unpack the stereotypes of the “starving artist”. Inspired by the themes present in Sawyer Rose’s work, how can we dismantle misconceptions about artist labor?

Date Thursday, May 20
Time 5-6pm PDT via Zoom

Let’s unpack “Good Trouble”, the theme of this year’s ArtNow 2021 Exhibition. As we commemorate the tenth year of ArtNow, we have a unique opportunity to dive deeper into how the arts can function as a vector for anti-racism in Santa Clara County and beyond. What special role can youth play in activism, arts, and social justice? How can institutions, such as Art Museums, support the efforts of youth and activists? The program will conclude with a Q&A and discussion between attendees and our panelists.

In this special virtual tour, Tony May will give us an inside look at the construction of the T. House, sharing a selection of process photos, details and inspiration. The T. House is a handmade building—initially constructed over the course of ten years and still evolving—in the style of Japanese carpentry and woodworking. Tony May’s installation at NUMU, Views of the T. House (1991-1992), features 18 photo-real acrylic paintings that serve as a record of the T. House’s material details and May’s process building it.
