About
Throughout the history of art, decoration and domestic handicrafts have been devalued as “women’s work”, specifically because it was associated with the domestic and the feminine. Using the artworks in "A Practice in Gestures" as a launching point, join curator Nan Capogna, artists Farheen HaQ, Deborah Koenker and Bettina Matzkuhn for an online discussion on this topic.
This event will include time for Q+A by participants to join in the live-streamed conversation.

Chat feature open for participants to send their questions and comments to panelists.
