| The Picturing Women project integrated a multi-venue exhibition with a number of public and scholarly programs, artist residencies and workshops, and commissioned performances. All of these programs exist as independent commentaries in their own right on the questions asked and ideas proposed by the Picturing Women exhibition; they were also conceived as crucial ways of allowing the project as a whole to more deeply and broadly explore its themes. We present these voices and images of the Picturing Women project to those of you who, through timing and geography, were not able to participate in person, as an opportunity to experience them yourself for the first time. And to those of you who were able to participate in person, we offer them as a prompt to consider again what they meant to you at that time, and what they suggest to you now, in this revised venue.
