How Long Must We Wait for Liberty: A Suffragette-Style Banner Workshop with Shelby Rodeffer
Monday, March 2 | 4:30-6:30pm
As Women’s History Month begins and we approach the centennial of the ratification of the 19th amendment, join us for a hands-on suffragette-style banner and flag making workshop. In this two-hour workshop, Chicago-based painter and commercial artist Shelby Rodeffer will guide attendees in producing banner and flag-style signs a’la the original suffragettes, with messages reimagined to reflect the evolution of feminist public thought over the last century. In this workshop, we seek to honor the work of feminists of the first wave while incorporating the strides toward intersectionality and inclusivity made by the third and fourth wave.
Free to attend, but RSVP via Eventbrite required (link below).
Shelby Rodeffer is a Chicago-based painter and commercial artist. Raised in Nashville, Tennessee, she embraces signs of the human hand in both personal and professional work. Her influence comes from folk art and representational art. Shelby's most recent work deals with femininity, connection and isolation through the use of female figures, structures and letterforms. She is also fond of traditional sign making as a means of communication and as a practical form of artistic expression. Currently, Shelby can be found sign painting and participating in various public art projects. Shelby’s work can be found online at http://shelbyrodeffer.com/ and around Chicago.
