SARATOGA SPRINGS — The Frances Young Tang Teaching Museum and Art Gallery at Skidmore College announces a series of public events — including pre-date primers, artist talks, and family programs — held conjunction with the election-year exhibition Never Done: 100 Years of Women in Politics and Beyond.
Never Done: 100 Years of Women in Politics and Beyond, co-curated by Rachel Seligman, Tang Museum Malloy Curator, and Minita Sanghvi, Assistant Professor of Management, Marketing, and Business, Skidmore College, is a celebration, conversation, and critique of the journey women have taken and have yet to take in the struggle for equality and representation in the U.S.
The exhibition online features images of 100 artworks by women and non-binary artists along with statements by each artist that reflect on their work in relation to women’s rights, representation, justice, and the legacy of the suffrage movement. These images will be presented alongside new curatorial writing, student reflections, a list of feminist readings and online resources, and more.
All events will take place online via Zoom and are free and open to the public. For information on how to access the events, please visit the Tang website at http://tang.skidmore.edu.
