This collection investigates art-making as rooted in notions of home and belonging for artists across diverse backgrounds and generations, bringing together five female-identifying artists who work across multiple mediums, including installation, photography, and sculpture.
“Women Take the Floor” challenges the dominant history of American art by focusing on the overlooked and underrepresented work and stories of women artists. This reinstallation—or “takeover”—of Level 3 of the Art of the Americas Wing advocates for diversity, inclusion, and gender equity in museums, the art world, and beyond. With more than 250 works drawn primarily from the MFA’s collection, the exhibition is organized into seven thematic galleries.
