Event Producer: Women's History Month Lecture 2018: Textured Abstractions: Howardena Pindell's Cut & Sewn Paintings

Sarah Cowan discusses the cut and sewn paintings of 1970s artist Howardena Pindell in the context of aesthetic debates engendered by the Black Arts Movement, the women's art movement and shifts in modernist criticism. Pindell's paintings used texture as a strategy for conveying her affinities for African culture, administrative and craft labor, feminine adornment and modernist art.

Women's history professor Bonnie J. Morris discusses the women's music movement. Her talk explored rare materials and cultural changes introduced onstage by feminist and lesbian artists.
Event Producer: Feminine Protection: Menstruation, Gender & Power, September 2016

This was the first lecture I produced at the Library of Congress. Eugenia Tarzibachi presented her research on the connections between traditional narratives of gender and the commercial dissemination and consumption of disposable menstrual products. Drawing on advertisements, first-person accounts, interviews and educational materials, Tarzibachi critically examines the similarities between the United States and Argentina at specific historical conjunctures between 1920 and 1980. Her book, Cosa de mujeres: Menstruación, Género y Poder, was published in November 2017.
