Women: hood explores complex experiences of femininity through interviews and responsive art works. Based in Iowa City, Iowa, USA, the collective sought and recorded interviews with 10 women living in the state of Iowa and beyond. These women’s stories, along with the art they inspired, are the heart of this project.

Zoom reception: 6/5, 7:30- 8:10 pm, CDT, USA

Don't miss this opportunity to know more about the project!! 

The art project started in 2018. The objective is to compile interviews about womanhood. So far, 10 diverse individuals have offered their perspectives. A video about their culture is going to be released in early 2021. You are welcome to visit the project's Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/Women-hood-114052123778368

Our international group "Nuda Vita II" is organized by Ilaria Ruggiero, the director of  "A/dornment Contemporary Art Jewelry." We were not able to participate in this year's Munich Jewellery Week because of the COVID-19 pandemic. We will hopefully be featuring our works there next year.
