The new documentary Agent of Happiness explores Bhutan's efforts to measure its own "gross national happiness." The film follows one not-especially-happy agent who gathers the data.

From the suffrage sashes and banners of the early 1900s to the pink knitted pussy hats of the modern Women’s March movement, textiles have played an important role as a messenger for women’s activism. "Textiles" connect women throughout time. They are skills passed down from generation to generation, from mother to daughter, within the privacy of the home. The items displayed in this exhibit are evidence of women’s historical impact on our society. By celebrating craftwork as a tool of artistic and political expression, and not only as private acts of women’s labor, we see how impactful women have been in our society. When | June 4, 2022 – Sept. 30, 2023 Time | 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Where | WMC Education Center Admission | Free for the first Saturday of every month or visit during the week by booking a group tour (Starting at $5 per person) For more information about the event, please visit here or call 619 939 5234 Follow WMC Education Center on Facebook | Twitter | Instagram
