A black-and-white photograph of a woman standing outdoors between two sections of a chain-link fence. Holding her arms out in a T, with either hand grasping a fencepost, she addresses the camera with a confident gaze. The woman wears a dark pageboy hat and a white polo shirt tucked into a short, plaid skirt. In the background is a low brick building with a slanted roof.

Traveling Exhibitions

A stemmed cup. The cup itself resembles a shell. It has an iridescent surface that is decorated with images of insects as well as a scene involving four figures. The opening faces directly up and is fitted with a flared, gold-colored lip. A curved section of the shell rises vertically above and alongside the opening and terminates in a gold-colored face, perhaps that of a bird. The shell is supported underneath by an ornate stem on a broad, two-tiered base.

A poster of white designs on a dark blue ground. The bottom half is entirely occupied by a grid that recedes toward a horizon line. Proceeding from the right foreground toward the left background is a line of screws resembling the female symbol, a circle with a small cross underneath. In the implied sky above are five circles, either full or partial, in which the same image of two women is repeated. A line of text just above the horizon begins: “Women in Design: The next decade—A conference.”
