Art as medicine, weapons & mirrors.
Women have harnessed creativity and expression through art to engage in political discourse, initiate conversations, and mirror societal events.
Whether it is paintings, jewelry, hair, or quilts, art can be sometimes demure and understated, sometimes outlandish and outspoken. Art transcends the physical; it is a powerful medium that resonates deeply within us, evoking emotions, sparking thoughts, and inspiring actions.
"Read My Pins: The Madeleine Albright Collection" features more than 200 pins that Secretary Albright wore as a communication tool before, during, and after her years of public service, including her tenure as Secretary of State from 1997 to 2001. Starting after the first Gulf war, a henchman of Saddam Hussein called Madame Albright a serpent. The next time she went to see the world leader, she wore a big serpent pin. This act of humanity continued for years and amassed a collection to prove her point. And as the story goes...the rest is history!
Pro tip #1: Art is not merely an object; it is an emotional response. This statement holds true for the artist, the viewer, and the collector.
