Feminism 250: Woman Made America

Woman Made Gallery (WMG) — one of the longest continually operating feminist art spaces in the United States — is seeking submissions for *Feminism 250: Woman Made America*, a group exhibition timed to the 250th anniversary of the United States.

The exhibition looks back at the long history of feminist movements, activism, and cultural resistance, inviting work that explores themes including the struggle for visibility, intersectionality (gender, race, class, disability, and migration), personal narratives, and visions for a feminist future.
