HOUGHTON — In the lower level of the Rozsa Center for the Performing Arts on the Michigan Technological University campus, the Rozsa Art Galleries is currently home to a feminist art exhibit. “Women’s Rights are Human Rights,” is currently on display through March, 28.

Curator of the Rozsa Art Galleries, Terri Frew said the exhibit contains 25 different women’s rights posters, and found its way to the Rozsa through Frew’s connection to feminism and its importance to today’s society. “The 25 posters that are shown were curated from a larger collection of 125 posters, that is managed by Elizabeth Resnick from the Massachusetts College of Arts and Design,” Frew said. “I wanted to show a diverse group of artists.”

Many of the artists, and those whom they are depicting, display a wide range of intersectional feminist figures from a wide breadth of history. From Ruth Bader Ginsburg to Marsha P. Johnson, many of the women depicted and curated in the exhibit show a wide array of what women can achieve.

“We’re representing 17 different countries in the artists that are being shown here,” Frew said. “I wanted to focus on uplifting women’s voices, especially with Sunday being International Women’s Day.”

Frew turned to her student workers and volunteers to help out with curation and setting up the A-Space location in the Rozsa. “Particularly my student workers who are interested in museology and curation, they give me a hand with choosing the posters and deciding which order to install them in,” Frew said.

As to why posters specifically were chosen to be displayed at the gallery, Frew offered some insight into why posters could appeal to college students.

“The mandate in the Rozsa Galleries is to show a diverse, contemporary art experience,” Frew said. “I think it kind of speaks to the ephemeralness of that type of artwork. It is a bit more accessible.”

The digital files of the posters were sent to The Rozsa and were printed on campus — another way that MTU was personally involved with the curation. Many students have already seen the exhibit, either through class visits or for leisure.

The Rozsa Art Galleries are closed this week due to the University’s Spring Break. Otherwise hours are 8 a.m.-8 p.m. M-F and 1-8 p.m. on Saturdays.

The Women’s Rights are Human Rights Exhibit will be available to experience through March 28. More information about The Rozsa and its future showcases can be found at mtu.edu/rozsa.
