A Place of Her Own


  • SOMArts Cultural Center 934 Brannan Street San Francisco, CA, 94103 United States (map)
A group art exhibition that excavates the vibrant dreams of women through arts-based healing and transformation.

A Place of Her Own features more than 30 artworks and large-scale installations that excavate the vibrant dreams and hopes of women. On view with accompanying public programming November 19 to December 11, 2015, the group visual arts exhibition amplifies the voices of 20 women artists with diverse cultural perspectives ranging in age from 21 to 89 years old. Each piece in the exhibition is a courageous visual answer to the question, “If you had a place of your own, what would it be?”

Exhibited artworks—marked by a saturation of color, imaginative use of materials and visual storytelling—highlight the personal, yet universal, journey to seek out and claim a place without external rules or expectations. Accompanying events and interactive installations invite the audience to join the journey.
