Art She Crafted

Their names are often missing from official art histories. The exhibition reveals how women were crucial to the development of art and culture in all eras and on every continent. It shows how women structurally contributed to cultural flourishing periods. Class also becomes visible: not all women had the same access and resources to art.

Guest curator Rajae El Mouhandiz selected dozens of stories: from paintings and manuscripts to textiles, fashion, design, photography, and installations. They show how women—despite structural exclusion—played an indispensable role as creators, patrons, collectors, donors, and innovators.

The exhibition Art She Crafted invites visitors to reread art history through the eyes of women.
