Women’s Work


New-York Historical Society, 2023

Graphic design: Ivan Skrtic, Claudia Lynn
The interior architecture here is one of the show’s pleasures— open, inviting, and anything but somber. You enter with your own history in tow and if it is a burdensome one, the load is somehow lightened.

Gauzy printed fabric and opaque vinyl graphics complement airy wooden partitions, letting visitors peer through windows into the diversity of just what constitutes “women’s work”. The exhibition, curated by the Center for Women’s History, showcases a diverse array of objects from New-York Historical’s own Museum and Library collections.
