The Dinner Party exhibition was definitely worth seeing in person because it represents a timeline of women and their struggles in the form of a triangular dinner table with detailed place settings for 39 women. On the floor and the tablecloth, there are more women names who have shaped the feminist movement in some way. All the dinner plates are in the shape of a vulvar and resemble a butterfly. A work that i saw with a similar theme included another series of works done by Judy Chicago which kept with her ideas of feminism and an equal world. Another artwork that stood out was by Joseph Kosuth because it was the first one when you walk into the museum. It is called Five Fives. His work revolved around language through poems and the effect they have in art. This can be related to Judy Chicago’s banners because they too use language as a medium in art.
