The images on this page were created by the teenage girls who participate in MOCA’s Women on the Rise! program. Women on the Rise! is an outreach program that presents the work of contemporary female artists to girls who are involved with community organizations such as Urgent, Inc. and Thelma Gibson Health Initiative. MOCA educators visit these institutions and use contemporary art to inspire girls to engage in critical dialogues about body image, relationships, and culture. Participants create multi-media artwork inspired by artists such as Lorna Simpson and Yayoi Kusama, meet with local and international women artists, and attend field trips to exhibitons.
