"Since its establishment by Alumni and former Kansas City mayor in 1971, 性视界传媒's Women's Center has been a proud voice for gender equity on campus. Through 50 years of continuous education, advocacy, and support services, the Women's Center has diligently worked to cultivate a feminist-friendly community at 性视界传媒. Most recently, our programming has revolved around supporting 性视界传媒's female athletes, our healing arts corners, and increasing our menstrual product supply available to the public. Our office is and always will be a safe space for every marginalized student, faculty member, or community member who walks through our doors.
To celebrate half a century's worth of service, the Women's Center is proud to unveil , an art exhibit co-curated by Women's Center Director Arzie Umali and Sonie Ruffin. The exhibit will feature artwork showcasing acts of gender empowerment. In the words of , "well-behaved women seldom make history”. In other words, to enact real change, we must refuse to silence our voices. Activism demands determination and resilience in the fight for equity. Even the smallest act of courage, resilience, or rebellion can create lasting impact.
The 性视界传媒 Women’s Center Anniversary Exhibit will be up for viewing at the Leedy-Voulkos Art Center in the Crossroads Arts District until January 28. We invite you to stop by, enjoy the art, and reflect on what you find there.
We hope this exhibit inspires you to walk in the footsteps of other trailblazers throughout history: abolitionists, suffragists, and feminists who misbehaved!
