A Place of Her Own features more than 30 artworks and large-scale installations that excavate the vibrant dreams and hopes of women. On view with accompanying public programming November 19 to December 11, 2015, the exhibition amplifies the voices of 20 women artists with diverse cultural perspectives ranging in age from 21 to 89 years old. Each piece in the exhibition is a courageous visual answer to the question, “If you had a place of your own, what would it be?” Curated by Cynthia Tom, A Place of Her Own is the first of three SOMArts Commons Curatorial Residency exhibitions in the 2015–2016 season. Leading up to this exhibition, Tom facilitated a number of workshops with artists based on healing art practices that stoked the ideas realized in the exhibited artworks. Visitors are invited to participate in three intuitive, art-making workstations to join the journey and create their own small artworks. All events will feature a pop-up, holiday artists’ market.
