I joined the Women's
Museum of California’s virtual Waves of Feminism mural unveiling and
was treated to a behind the screnes creation talk about the inspiration behind the
project and how the mural came to be. We got to see the mural created by Katie Ruiz and to hear from Sue
Gonda how the women in the three waves of the mural were selected. We
learned about separate issues that were prevalent in each era: 100 years ago,
the 1960’s and the present. But the director of WMC, Felica Shaw, has also invited the public to contribute their own messages of what the future might mean to
us, what the world would be like with gender equity, inclusion and diversity
for all.
You can see the mural at Liberty Station right outside the
Museum on the exterior walls of Barracks 16 and there will be
short labels on the wall, QR codes give you more info including more in-depth
exhibitions. Of course, you can go online where they will share all the public messages
and more info and tools, workshops, panels and resources to come. Future projects include: music, films and
fashion so you can explore the sound track, celluloid influences and, icons that
led the feminist movement.
