Tiffany Shlain teams up with the National Women’s History Museum to bring her latest show out of the galleries and into one of the country’s most prolific public realms: the National Mall. The California based artist-activist’s Feminist History Tree Ring comes front and center, featuring annotations on each ring that serves as a timeline of notable moments in women’s history, from Wu Zetian’s tenure as China’s only female ruler beginning in 690 and the United States’ flip-flopping on the legality of abortion access to the 1972 advent of the birth control pill and the eventual repeal of Roe v. Wade in 2022. A plethora of whitespace invites viewers to imagine how the future might unfold on the precipice of a major election year.
