On Equal Terms: A Mixed-Media Installation by Susan Eisenberg

“On Equal Terms: A Mixed-Media Installation by Susan Eisenberg”

Oct. 6, 2008 – Jan. 9, 2009

Women's Studies Research Center- Brandeis University

Curated by Wendy Tarlow Kaplan Kniznick Gallery

From Monday, Oct. 6 through Friday, Jan. 9, “On Equal Terms” addresses the gender barriers in any occupation – and what it means to treat all individuals fairly. Rooted in a political and cultural context, the mixed-media art exhibition celebrates women in construction and their allies, who have kept affirmative action alive for the past three decades.

Susan Eisenberg, an artist, poet, activist, WSRC scholar and master electrician, interviewed more than 30 other women in the trades- including ironworkers, carpenters, painters and plumbers- about their inspiration, frustration and experiences. Her installation reflects these candid conversations.

After leaving Brandeis, the exhibition will be on view at the Adams Gallery at Suffolk University in Boston from Jan. 23 – March 16, 2009. 

An illustrated, color catalogue accompanies the exhibition.  Get more information!
