Womanhood: the state or condition of being a woman.
In February 2020, three UA students agreed to meet with Laurel Lamb, the Museum’s Curator of Education and Engagement. Each came to the table from varied disciplines – history, chemical engineering, and art education.
They were asked to decide on a topic that interested them, mattered to them. They chosen womanhood. With this topic, they explored the Museum’s vast collections and picked an object that exemplified womanhood to them. Finally, they created a final project centered around the topic and chosen object. From Panama to Canada, they each explore what it means to be woman.
Womanhood Project is the first installation in the Museum’s new Dialogue Sparked program. The program provides an outlet for UA students to meet new people, explore the collections, and discuss what matters to them.
Many thanks to this talented group of women who dedicated their time to this brand new program.
