Queens, Maidens, Matriarchs: The African Woman in the de Young

A Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco slide show and lecture. Women’s many roles, as maidens, mothers, goddesses, and queens, have inspired African artists for centuries. Using materials at hand, these artists reflect on women’s increasing visibility in the spiritual and political realms while affirming the beauty, wisdom, and majesty of women with traditional and contemporary cultures. Please join us for this slide show and lecture in celebration of National Women’s History Month.
