This special selection of photographs from the permanent collection is on view in conjunction with the 40th anniversary of the Center for the Study of Women in Society, a campus organization that creates, funds, and shares research that addresses the complicated nature of gender identities and inequalities. Curated by graduate students Sarah Turner with assistance from Regan Watjus, \u201cWomen\u2019s Stories, Women\u2019s Lives\u201d presents images representing the diversity of the female experience.<\/p>\n

The JSMA\u2019s collection of photography originally focused on [primarily male] artists working on the West Coast, but it has expanded to include over 1,000 images by both men and women from the Americas, Asia, Australia, and Europe. In making selections for this display, the student curators chose artists of both genders, whose social documentary photographs reflected women from different walks of life. Their subjects\u2019 personal stories, captured in moments in time, are empowering, realistic, and relatable. On that same token, the lives of the female photographers are equally interesting and inspiring. \u201cWomen\u2019s Stories, Women\u2019s Lives\u201d celebrates both the women in front of and behind the cameras.<\/p>\n

Complementary exhibitions at Knight Library, Erb Memorial Union, and the Eugene Airport display additional artwork, feminist publications, and historical materials.<\/p>\n

You are invited to attend the CSWS\u2019s interdisciplinary program \u201cAgents of Change,\u201d a three-day celebration of feminist research, activism, and creativity in collaboration with the ASUO Women\u2019s Center and the Department of Women\u2019s and Gender Studies:<\/p>\n
