March's Lecture - A Seat at the Table: Judy Chicago's Dinner Party
Throughout European history, men took an active role in shaping culture and the arts, while often marginalizing women. In her monumental artwork - Dinner Party - Judy Chicago literally turns the tables. This lecture focuses on her effort to put women at the center of the historical narrative.
