Watch the film from home: June 12-14
Join zoom of WOMANHOUSE on June 15, 2022 | Noon PST | Zoom
The screening will be followed by an online conversation with Bruce Guenther and Judy Margles who will discuss the film in the context of Judy Chicago’s legacy in the annals of feminist art practice. This program is in conjunction with OJMCHE’s exhibition, Turning Inward, Judy Chicago, From the Collection of Jordan Schnitzer and His Family Foundation.
WOMANHOUSE is a historic documentary about one of the most important feminist cultural events of the 1970s. Judy Chicago (best-known as the creator of THE DINNER PARTY) and Miriam Shapiro rented an old Hollywood mansion and altered its interior through decor and set-pieces to “search out and reveal the female experience…the dreams and fantasies of women as they sewed, cooked, washed and ironed away their lives.” WOMANHOUSE is a fascinating historical look at feminism, its reception in the 1970s, and the ever-important relationship between art and social change.
We will send out information about the film screening (URL to watch, passcode, and other important information) to anyone who has registered through zoom for the discussion at about midnight on June 12 and continue to do so until the end of the day on June 14.
