Special Exhibit Tour "Woman, the Spirit of the Universe" with Carolyn Johnson

  • St. Paul's United Methodist Church 5501 Main St Houston, TX 77004 USA (map)

All are welcome to join us for a tour led by artist and St. Paul's member Carolyn Johnson of her special exhibit "Woman, the Spirit of the Universe" at the Holocaust Museum Houston.

“Woman, the Spirit of the Universe features stunning bronze collars inspired by 23 American heroines who fought bravely and tirelessly for equality. The collars are stitched by hand and then cast in bronze. For most of us, a collar is simply an adornment for a shirt or dress. In Carolyn Marks Johnson’s art, a collar symbolizes the struggle to establish women’s rights. The women featured in the exhibition span generations, from Margaret Brent, who practiced de facto law in the late 1600s to two giants of Texas politics, Governor Ann Richards and Representative Barbara Jordan. Other leading women in the exhibition include Dolores Huerta, who championed labor rights; Chief Wilma Mankiller, first female chief of the Cherokee Nation; Sojourner Truth, who carried the message of abolition to every part of America she could reach; and abolitionist and social activist Harriet Tubman, known for freeing enslaved people through the Underground Railroad.” — Holocaust Museum
