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.
