3/4, 4:15pm

If you ever took an art history survey course in college, then you most likely remember Judy Chicago’s iconic installation piece, The Dinner Party.

This afternoon, hear the artist in conversation with author and gender historian Jane Gerhard as they address topics of feminism, education and social change as related to art. The lecture concludes with a performance piece from Lelaina Vogel. If you’ve got time, stop in at the Schlesinger Library beforehand and browse the exhibited archives of Chicago’s papers (on view M-F 9:30-5, through 9/30).
