The primary goal of The Century Project is to provide,
through art, a healthy alternative to the way in which women
are represented in the media. The Century Project is
about real women in real bodies, not the caricatures in the worlds
of media and advertising.
The Century Project also aims more generally to stimulate
thought and discussion about subjects that are often taboo in
our culture, or otherwise too personal, too painful.
The Century Project has been exhibited
across North America in galleries and at colleges and universities,
usually at the invitation of staff therapists or women’s
studies departments, and normally with classroom or workshop discussion
of the issues it raises.
