Missed our weekly Women's History Month archival selections? Here's a recap! Last week, we did a deep dive into the Healing Ritual for Carolee Schneemann, performed by Mary Beth Edelson, Gloria Orenstein, Clive Philpot, Elinor Gadon, Hank Gile, and Maura Sheehan in December 1987. The ritual was an embodiment of feminist art as transformation. Through collective wounding, storytelling, and symbolic renewal, they explored loss as a path to empowerment.
