SUMMARY:CLOSING RECEPTION FOR 'ON EQUAL TERMS'
DESCRIPTION:
 "On Equal Terms: A Mixed-Media Installation by 
 Susan Eisenberg" addresses the cost of gender 
 barriers in any occupation -- and what it means 
 to treat all individuals on equal terms. 
 Rooted in a political and cultural context, 
 the mixed-media art exhibition explores and celebrates 
 the experiences of women in the building 
 and construction industry, especially the 
 pioneering women who joined the skilled trades 
 in the late 1970's and who have left their 
 signatures on the nation's skyline.\n
  \n
 Susan 
 Eisenberg, an artist, poet, activist, Brandeis 
 University scholar and master electrician, 
 interviewed more than 30 other women in the 
 trades -- including ironworkers, electricians, 
 painters, plumbers and carpenters -- about 
 their experiences. Her installation reflects 
 these candid conversations.\n
  \n
 "On Equal 
 Terms" demonstrates the successful intersection 
 of work and family life for tradeswomen -- 
 and aptly enough, the closing reception is planned 
 in honor of Mother's Day and the millions 
 of working mothers across the nation. Speakers 
 for the reception include Susan Eisenberg 
 and Joe Davis, international representative 
 of the International Brotherhood of Electrical 
 Workers.\n
