Celebrate International Women’s Day with a special movie and craft night at the Women’s Museum of California. Join us for a special screening of WomanHouse, a historic documentary about one of the most important feminist cultural events of the 1970s. Judy Chicago (best-known as the creator of THE DINNER PARTY) and Miriam Shapiro rented an old Hollywood mansion and altered its interior through decor and set-pieces to "search out and reveal the female experience...the dreams and fantasies of women as they sewed, cooked, washed and ironed away their lives." WomanHouse is a fascinating historical look at feminism, its reception in the 1970s, and the ever-important relationship between art and social change. Before the film screening WMC Artistic Director Katie Ruiz will discuss the importance of the WomanHouse art project and teach attendees how to make a simple craft inspired by the feminist art movement of the 1970s.

Opening reception: Saturday, Jan. 21 4-7 p.m. On view Jan. 21 through March 3. “Tom Driscoll’s recent sculptural works activate architectural space by exploiting the juncture of walls, floors and ceilings. The resulting corners become prime loci for the placement of cast concrete, geometrically organic forms that enlist and activate the entire gallery space as both foil and collaborator. Related hanging, pendulum pieces when swung arc back and forth against the white walls leaving elegant tracings of their movement. The normal gallery experience of static objects centered on walls is thereby completely subverted by Driscoll in an exuberant and profound way.” – Hugh M.
