The Rose Art Museum is honored to host Judy Chicago, a pioneering and influential figure in contemporary art, for a special virtual conversation with Catherine Morris, Senior Curator for the Elizabeth A. Sackler Center for Feminist Art at the Brooklyn Museum. Together, they will explore Chicago’s groundbreaking Birth Project (1980–1985), a series that reimagines childbirth as a powerful, sacred, and creative act. Produced in collaboration with more than 150 needleworkers across the United States, the project brought women’s collective labor and historically marginalized craft practices into the realm of monumental art. The discussion will focus in particular on Birth Trinity (1982–1984), a work from the series currently on view in Fabricated Imaginaries: Crafting Art at the Rose Art Museum.
This conversation will also situate the Birth Project within the broader arc of Chicago’s career, including her landmark installation, The Dinner Party (1974–1979), permanently housed at the Brooklyn Museum. By placing childbirth, creation, and female agency at the center of visual culture, Chicago’s groundbreaking work established a foundation for feminist art as a recognized movement, challenging long-standing exclusions in art history and opening space for new narratives of power, labor, and representation.
