"Herland" is the title of a novel published in 1915 by the American feminist writer Charlotte Perkins Gilman, who tells the story about an utopian paradise where only women live in a sort of communitarian society.
More than a century later, in a world where the discussion about women empowering, race, class, and equity is more relevant (and necessary) than ever before, we present here our subjective version of that Herland. In this case not as an utopia but as a clear attempt to create an imaginary territory where female artists, with different approaches and even different ways of looking, define a new powerful land with new meanings.
This exhibition was intended to be on view at MOLAA during the Spring of 2020. Upon the Museum’s reopening to the public, please visit the exhibition in the galleries.
