Point Line Projects (Sarah Rafson)

The feminist movement has impacted every facet of society, including the way we view art and architecture. Unfortunately, feminism’s impact on architecture has been largely overlooked. This lecture will explore one of these under-recognized efforts—an exhibition by the Chicago-based feminist curatorial collective CARYATIDS—as well as recent exhibitions by ArchiteXX and Point Line Projects that aim to put feminist exhibition principles into practice.

Opening May 10, 2021

Over the last decade, NEXT has been held every spring as an innovative end-of-year thesis and capstone show that gives D.C.’s art community the opportunity to see the latest in contemporary art. Visitors get to see student work in the fields of studio arts, art history, interior architecture, design, dance, theatre, music and museum studies and more. The COVID-19 pandemic prevented the Corcoran from hosting NEXT 2020, but many student artists still found creative ways to complete or rework their projects. In 2021, for the first time in its history, NEXT will be a virtual experience, with a website and online performances and shows, launching on May 10, 2021.

Check back for the website link over the next few weeks.
