Wall of Women
Wall of Women - Art as Resistance
- March 29, 2025 - April 30, 2025
- L'Enfant Gallery, Georgetown, Washington
The Wall of Women was curated to celebrate International Women’s Day and the female artists in L’Enfant Gallery’s extensive collection. During the curation process, it became apparent to us how few women artists were represented and how many of the female portraits were naked. The wall became a powerful statement on the underrepresentation of women in the art world as a whole.
For Women’ History Month in 2025, we brought the Wall of Woman into the public gallery space for everyone to see. We invited a select panel of artists, thinkers, and friends to sit in front of the art and discuss the work and the role of art as resistance.
The panel discussion will include Dr. Emerald Christopher, a Professor from Georgetown University; Dr. Natalia Kazaryan, a concert pianist and Assistant Professor of Piano from Howard University; Kelly Richman-Abdou an art historian, doctoral candidate and museum educator at The Philips Collection; Dr. Esha Sadr-Eshkevari, a multidisciplinary artist; TANSY an international burlesque star in New York City.
