Join Ruby City for a special celebration of Generative Disruption: Feminist Art from the Collection with an exhibition walkthrough led by Ruby City Director Elyse A. Gonzales. Bringing together works from the Linda Pace Foundation Collection, the exhibition explores ideas surrounding domesticity, identity, care, beauty, memory, and the ways women’s experiences have shaped artistic practices.

Visitors will gain insight into the exhibition’s themes and curatorial framework, considering how artists engage with personal and collective histories, everyday life, spirituality, dreaming, and questions of social and cultural power. Together, the works offer a reflection on what it means to create, imagine, inhabit, nurture, and resist.
