The event was organized at the Collaboratory by Professor Haefner and students from the Women’s and Gender Studies Program. This exhibition was part of North Park’s celebration of Women’s History Month. The students decorated ceramic plates in honor of American women who have made significant contributions through their activism, politics, and the arts. The exhibition was actually inspired by an artwork installation in the Brooklyn Museum by feminist artist Judy Chicago. Chicago’s “Dinner Party” represents a banquet laid in the shape of a triangle, which is supposed to be a symbol of equality. This artist also honors the accomplishments of women, from goddess cultures and contemporary times.
