ACCESS-An Ordinary Notion showcases art in all media that speak to and illuminate the ongoing conversation around race, women's and LGBTQIA+ rights, reproductive rights, disparities in global wealth, power, access to food, water, shelter, education, health services, disability access, child and elder care, along with immigration issues, climate change, and criminal (in)justice in the modern world.
It has been over 100 years since the introduction of the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA). This exhibition is in honor of Alice Paul, suffragist, who re-wrote the amendment in 1943 expanding the language to be more in line with recently passed legislation. Dubbed the ‘Alice Paul Amendment,’ the new amendment stated, ‘Equality of rights under the law shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any state on account of sex.’ The 19th Amendment, granting women suffrage, is the only mention of the word 'woman' in the U.S. Constitution. Furthermore, the only right guaranteed to women by federal law is the right to vote. The ERA has yet to be ratified.
NCWCA is pleased to announce that we are partnering with the Alice Paul Institute and the Susan B. Anthony Museum & House for the ACCESS: An Ordinary Notion Exhibition. Both the Alice Paul Institute and the Susan B. Anthony Museum & House plan to contribute to ACCESS: An Ordinary Notion Exhibition with catalog essays, in-person panel participation, intergenerational projects, curriculum development, East Coast ACCESS: An Ordinary Notion Exhibition program days, national outreach, scholarship and more!
NCWCA showcases artwork as a conduit in our collective determination for rights that should never be exclusive or for the privileged, but instead are interrelated, interdependent, and indivisible for all. We believe that art can be a powerful vehicle to spark meaningful discussion and ignite inflection points. We also believe in the artist’s voice to foster these important dialogues worldwide.
