WE RISE
Welcome to the WE RISE Poughkeepsie. The project is a collaboration of city art galleries, organizations, artists and activists to celebrate the he 100th anniversary of the passage of the 19th Amendment, giving women in the United States the right to vote.
This centennial offers an opportunity to commemorate a milestone in our democracy and to examine and celebrate the power of the vote and of raising our voices in this election year. We will look at the intertwined and often fraught relationships between the women’s suffrage movement, abolition and black voting rights and talk with contemporary female artists about how they are using their voices in the context of community and power.
Art exhibits, movie screenings, performances, panel discussions and lectures, trivia night and surprise events are planned. There will be something for everyone, so mark your calendars and join us in person or virtually.
All the events and exhibits will be held in downtown Poughkeepsie, NY from Sept 4 to Sept 19; exhibit dates vary by venue. In response to evolving local health and business guidelines, some events may become virtual or hybrid events.
