17th Annual Gender Studies Symposium

What Color is Your Collar?  Gender, Class, and Culture
March 11-13, 1998

Art Exhibit

MARCH 11-13, TEMPLETON STUDENT CENTER, STAMM


      The 1998 Gender Studies Symposium Art Show focused on the relationship between class and art, featuring works which specifically address class as subject, as well as those which consider economics more obliquely. Naturally, many of these art projects spoke to class through the microphone of gender. Works came from many corners of our community: Lewis & Clark students, staff, and faculty, and artists from the greater Portland area and beyond.
