Beyond the Vote

Over 100 years
ago, women got the right to vote. The Durham is pleased to present a unique
exhibition experience exploring the lasting impact of the 19th amendment. Beyond
the Vote will blend iconic images of the past from our partners at the
Smithsonian Institution and Library of Congress with original contemporary
artwork created by five local artists. The exhibit will explore the themes at
the heart of the suffrage movement—both for and against—and how those same
themes about a woman’s place in the world continue to resonate today.
