Is it time to have this conversation? Again?

THE WOMEN AND MONEY PROJECT IN 2016 asked a simple yet powerful question: what is the value of women’s lives, labor, and presence?

Through the theme “Women and Money,” artists explored the emotional landscapes surrounding wealth, scarcity, and power. Money is not only currency—it shapes identity, relationships, possibility, and belonging.
Yet much of what women give to the world exists outside the language of economics. Women nurture communities, weave relationships, sustain culture, and carry invisible networks of care. Like pollinators moving quietly through a landscape, they generate the vitality from which communities grow.
Still, the structures that define financial value rarely recognize these contributions.

Since the exhibition in 2016 10 years ago, I believe we have had significant backlash to all of the discussions that were raised at that time- at the time we did that exhibition at the UMN Department of Art & Katherine E. Nash Gallery we had no idea of the realities that existed and what was to come...2016 and beyond.
