Judy Chicago: Banners from the Dinner Party
The Dinner Party by Judy Chicago is a symbolic history of women in Western civilization. Triangular in configuration, it is a monumental work of art that employs numerous media, including ceramics, china-painting, and an array of needle and fiber techniques, to honor women's achievements. It is permanently installed in the Elizabeth A Sackler Center for Feminist Art at the Brooklyn Museum. The woven banners that introduce The Dinner Party are intended to be heraldic, leading the viewer into the darkened chamber where The Dinner Party is installed. The phrases that are included on the tapestries introduce the idea that one of the goals of this work is to bring about greater equality through an increased appreciation of women and all that they have contributed to the world.
