LAURA BURCIN - WOMEN'S EQUITY TAPESTRY SERIES
2022-07-01 13:00 - 16:00 | 203 West Street,Beaufort,29902,US
Eight handwoven tapestries representing Women’s struggle for Equality.
You are invited to view a tapestry and visual media show in my gallery at Atelier Off Bay. Each of the eight tapestries was handwoven and represents one of the issues that women are still struggling with to achieve equality with men.
Gender equity has come a long way in the United States, but each step has taken activism and many years. It took nearly 100 years for women to get the right to vote and many outspoken women and men to achieve it. Many people are worried that we are at a tipping point for losing some of the equity that women have achieved, case in point potentially overturning Roe v Wade after 50 years.
I have been weaving tapestry since I retired from the Aerospace industry in 2015, although before retiring I had been weaving cloth for many years as a hobby. During my career I both witnessed and experienced gender prejudice from the male dominated industry. Now that I am retired, I am using my tapestry as a visual arts media to illustrate examples of the inequality in the workplace between women and men.
