AMEND is an online exhibition organized to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the adoption of the 19th Amendment to the US Constitution, aka Women’s Suffrage. Of course we are still in the fight for true universal suffrage - this exhibit will promote & support initiatives that combat voter suppression & expanding voting rights, while recognizing the work of the suffragettes.
We invited a chorus of makers to design a piece of jewelry using the “I Voted” sticker as a jumping off point. Charged to interpret it anyway they like, the coming election coincides with the amending of our constitution & participation will take the form of any declaration about voting equity & the messy/complex history that includes.
