100 Years | 100 Women Conversation Series

Friday, August 27, 12–1 pm
Online


Join The Met and Park Avenue Armory for a series of conversations about the 100 Years | 100 Women project. The project invited 100 artists, activists, scholars, students, and community leaders to respond to the centennial and complex legacy of the 19th Amendment, which gave some women the right to vote. Each conversation in the series features a group of participants exploring specific topics that resonate with the project, including uplifting underrepresented stories of women, art and disability advocacy, the past and future of women of color in film and television, and more. This week's conversation features one of The Met’s Civic Practice Partnership artists in residence and project participant, Toshi Reagon.
