Illuminating the American Experience: Groundbreaking U.S. Women in Dance
Curated by Kim Chan and Pamela Tatge
This exhibit features women whose creative practice illuminates the American experience of their times and reveals new possibilities for the generations who follow. They include Pearl Primus, Rokafella, Emily Johnson, Chea Samy, and more. The paths forged by the women in this exhibit collectively demonstrate there is no one singular American experience. By celebrating the variety of their expressions, we experience the richness of dance and civic life in the United States.
