The Women*s Center on the Washington State University Pullman campus invites the community to celebrate its 50th anniversary and has planned several special activities in recognition of this historic milestone.
From 4–7 p.m. on Friday, Feb. 28, the center will host a free art exhibition and keynote address with renowned artist (and current Umass Art Grad Student) Sophia Wallace in the Jordan Schnitzer Art Museum on the WSU campus.
Wallace is known for her groundbreaking CLITERACY Project and uses art to challenge societal taboos surrounding female sexuality, advocate for body sovereignty, and address the marginalization of female and queer bodies. Her work spans text installations, sculpture, and performance, making her a force in contemporary art and gender advocacy.
Wallace’s creations have been featured internationally, with exhibits at venues like Sotheby’s and the Leslie-Lohman Museum. Her work has also been highlighted in major publications including The New York Times and The Guardian.
Sophia Wallace's solo exhibit, entitled Radiant Resistance, is currently available for viewing in CUE 302 through March 5.
