Join women artists from the 1970s to today in questioning the myth of the sole male genius. The women artists featured in He Said/She Said: Contemporary Women Artists Interject strategically appropriate the contributions of male artists to create space for new, more inclusive narratives. Ranging from members of the feminist movement of the 1970s to young artists who are inspired by Surrealism, they create work that critiques gender norms, sexism, and racism. This exhibition features artworks from the DMA and from local collections, and a majority of the works are making their debut.
