“She Opens the Door” features nine artists whose artworks question what “women’s work” might be, often drawing from materials and techniques traditionally considered “craft” to offer sharp cultural critiques and new visual languages.
In addition to selecting the artworks, Chloe Martinez contributes her own poetry and writing to complement the artwork, while also inviting other creative writers to participate. A limited-edition catalog is available featuring images of works of art alongside the poetry and prose they inspired.
