The Way That We Rhyme: Women, Art & Politics First Floor Galleries Mar 29 – Jun 29, 2008 OPENING NIGHT PARTY » Organized by YBCA, The Way That We Rhyme showcases the politically charged work of a new generation of women. Emphasizing performativity, collaboration and coalition building, the works are influenced by the feminist ideologies and activist movements of the past, while also speaking loudly and clearly to the issues facing women right now.
