Women of Hopkins Art Installation: Creating Visible Change

• In Event: Poster Sessions

Abstract

Countless women who have changed the world were molded at Johns Hopkins, but many of us have not heard of them. In order to promote gender and racial equity, a grass-roots team used blank walls and empty space to illuminate the successes of our alumnae and women who worked and trained at Johns Hopkins. With most artwork on campus representing white men, we needed images of diverse women who could serve as role models for our community. With financial support from our Diversity Leadership Council, a 600 square foot art installation was commissioned highlighting 23 of Johns Hopkins’ most accomplished women.
