Celebrating The "Silent" Generation

Portrait of a Generation, an exhibition in painting and sound, celebrated the lives of twelve American women of the “silent generation,” born between 1933 and 1943. Conducted with  Dr. Sharon Ravitch of the University of Pennsylvania, this project celebrated the individual lives of this diverse, generous, and wise group of women and in doing so, highlighted the trajectories and choices of American women who came of age during the 1960's.
