GirlSpeak is our interactive series based on Girl Museum community participation.  These exhibitions consist of collaborations, submitted artworks on a particular theme, family history projects and the Junior Girl Curator Series.  This is our unique program for girls to learn about producing and curate their own show.  We guide the process from brainstorming for ideas through to uploading the finished product.

Girl Museum is proud to announce the opening of our 'Heroines Quilt' exhibition.

The ‘Heroines Quilt’ is an indefinite project, continuously growing as more heroines are acknowledged.

We invite girls of all ages to submit a short essay (250 words max) about their real/fictional, historic/contemporary, famous/local girlhood heroine, why they were important and what impact they may still have on your life.  

If you have a favorite photo of your heroine, please also attach it to your submission.  No preference? We will source one- unless it is a family member, then we need your pic!

Send your submissions (preferably in Word) along with a separate image through to share@girlmuseum.org.  

Let us know if you have any questions.

Other upcoming exhibitions include, ‘Girl Groups’, which chronicles different social and service organizations, the ‘Que Sera Sera’ project exploring early talents and ‘Play’ that looks at girls’ games and activities across time and cultures using interviews and video.

We are currently accepting requests/ideas for exhibitions for this series.If you have one or would like to know more, tell the Head Girl.
