Women's History Month
WE-A's "In Your Words" Virtual Exhibit
We In Architecture (WE-A) developed a new way in showcasing what it means to be a Women.
March is marked as Women's History Month, that includes all gender expansive people: cisgender, trans, non-binary, gender non-conforming, gender queer and anyone woman- or girl-identified. At the beginning of the month, WE-A launched the “In your words” Virtual Collage Exhibit. They requested empowering words and insight from your personal/ professional journey to elevate women’s well-being, resilience, and grace that would then come together to create these interactive graphics.
As the month of March comes to a close and we say good bye to Women’s History Month, we must keep in mind our empowering words and insight.
“I used to think that there was some kind of honor in being able to do everything on my own, as if my accomplishments would mean more when flying solo. But over my career, l've noticed that the best moments and the most fulfillment come from shared experiences and achievements. I've learned that it's not only okay to rely on others in the pursuit of my goals, it's better! Now, I seek out opportunities to work with other women whom I find interesting in hopes that we can feed off each other's energy and build each other up in ways we couldn't do on our own..”
“I think it is most important to give space to all voices on a project. Too often the loudest voices only are heard. Some of the best ideas in our projects have come from a quiet voice.”
“You are human before anything else. By accepting that you are human you give yourself a safe space to fail and to succeed.”
