Women's History Month

This month, we're sharing stories for Women's History Month, exploring the connections between history and art.

Artist Monica Camin explores her Jewish family history in Nazi Germany and Argentina though dramatically expressive paintings and sculpture. She writes, “I am inspired by childhood memories, ancestral stories, and social progress. Through my art, I engage my doubts and seek answers from an emotional perspective.”
