Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden
The Washington Post commissioned a special art work by feminist artist group Guerilla Girls calling attention to the lack of women represented at art museums in the nation’s capital. Nearly 15 years later, these museums are all led by women. Join Hirshhorn director Melissa Chiu, National Gallery of Art director Kaywin Feldman, National Portrait Gallery director Kim Sajet, and Smithsonian American Art Museum and Renwick Gallery director Stephanie Stebich as they explore the responsibilities of museums in the 21st century. The program will be moderated by celebrated ethnographer and writer Sarah Thornton.
This program coincides with the exhibition Put It This Way: (Re)Visions of the Hirshhorn Collection, which unites almost a century of work by nearly 50 women and nonbinary artists in a range of media drawn exclusively from the Hirshhorn’s permanent collection. Many of the works selected have never been shown before.
