Summer 2024: A “response” exhibition to the Smithsonian’s Voices and Votes exhibition on view at the National Women’s Hall of Fame and Museum.

Co-Crafting Democracy: Fiber Arts and Activism curatorial team consists of Betty Bayer, Tamar Carroll, Juilee Decker, Hinda Mandell, and Samaya Nasr and colleagues at the Hall.  

Juilee Decker and Hinda Mandell are grateful for the support of the curatorial team, in particular Samaya Nasr, and would also like to thank the following colleagues from the RIT community: Liz Call, Landyn Hatch (RIT ‘20), Scott Nost (RIT ‘22), Jan Adil (RIT ‘22), and current students Lucia Bazdresch, Claire Gallucci, Renee Guerin, and Bella Herendeen. The installation was enriched by the assistance of Mia Tetrault, Greta Paasch and Betty Bayer from Hobart and William Smith Colleges. In addition, Juilee and Hinda would like to thank SewGreen Rochester for their donation of materials for the Little, Free Craft Depot. They would also like to thank RIT’s College of Liberal Arts and the Museum Studies Program in particular, and Dr. James Hall and RIT’s School of Individualized Study. Special thanks are due to Genesee Country Village & Museum, in particular curator Brandon Brooks and Peter Wisbey, for the loan of mannequins to display fiber art, and museum staff Jill Johnson and Izzy Moyer, who assisted with the installation of Voices and Votes (a crated show is never as easy to install as it appears to be!).
