YSC Session: Art, Entrepreneurship, and the Empowered Female Form

Entrepreneurship is often described as encouraging, unapologetic, and as a way of taking up space. In this Session, we will discuss how entrepreneurship, through the lens of the female form, can be empowering. How does the female form take up space? How do practices of art, representation, non-verbal poetics, and “not performing,” play into notions of womanhood and self-empowerment? Lead Sessionist, artist and illustrator Haley Brown, invites you to this Session on creating space for business in unapologetic art. All are welcome.
