The Art, Design & Architecture Museum and impactmania<\/em> present their inaugural collaboration<\/strong>

Repost of the article from:\u00a0http:\/\/www.news.ucsb.edu\/2018\/019121\/drivers-impact<\/a><\/p>\n

\n

\u201cWe hold these truths to be self-evident: that all men and women are created equal. The history of mankind is a history of repeated injuries and usurpation on the part of man toward woman.\u201d<\/p>\n

So states the Declaration of Sentiments, a document signed by 100 attendees of the nation\u2019s first convention for women\u2019s rights. Meeting in 1848 in Seneca Falls, New York, the women advocated for equality in the family, education, moral standing, jobs and religion. Though great progress has been made over in the ensuing 170 years, women around the world continue to navigate issues of equality, civil liberty and autonomy.<\/p>\n

In partnership with the Art, Design & Architecture Museum (AD&AM) at UC Santa Barbara, the project impactmania will celebrate the anniversary of the Seneca Falls Convention with its inaugural exhibition, \u201cWomen of Impact.\u201d The exhibition focuses on women\u2019s contributions to society and celebrates female drivers of cultural, social, and economic impact. An opening reception will take place Thursday, July 19 \u2014 the date of the Seneca Falls Convention \u2014 from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. at the museum. Admission is free and the public is invited.<\/p>\n

impactmania is an online platform launched at UC Santa Barbara that functions as a repository for original content, including interviews with contemporary thought leaders, both nationally and internationally.<\/p>\n

The reception also will introduce impactmania\u2019s new book, \u201cWomen of Impact,\u201d which features an international roll of 130 women of various backgrounds. The book highlights their individual initatives and endeavors and their impact on the world. More than 20 of the women will be on hand to discuss their work, with a question-and-answer session following as time permits.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe expected to present a panel with four women from the book, but then we heard back from 23 women who said they would travel in on their own time and at their own expense for the project launch,\u201d \u00a0said Paksy Plackis-Cheng, impactmania founder and a senior fellow of research media at UC Santa Barbara. \u201cWomen are flying in from all over the country and as far as Brazil, China, the Netherlands and New Zealand. We\u2019ll provide the community with an opportunity to hear from these women about the work they do and the resulted impact from their work.\u201d<\/p>\n

According to Plackis-Cheng, her vision for impactmania is to make visible the contributions of impact makers in the world, and to connect current with next-generation change makers.<\/p>\n

\u201cI have seen that even basic understanding of how much we contribute to society is not covered by the overall media,\u201d she said. \u201cI am stunned by how many incredible significant contributions women are making in terms of making our lives safer, communities stronger, and healthier. We have to rethink true value and power.\u201d<\/p>\n

Plackis-Cheng added that the exhibition, panel, and reception are also important catalysts for discussion, harnessing the power that comes from gathering together diverse individuals to share their experiences, work, and perspectives.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe value of the women gathering is that we start dialogues and meet those who are working on meaningful projects,\u201d Plackis-Cheng said. \u201cLet\u2019s offer up our thoughts, work on potential solutions, and collaborate with others who are currently driving cultural, social, and economic impact. The book and presentation is all about making visible what is hidden in our communities all across the world. We need to start bringing people together from different disciplines, experiences, and backgrounds to tackle complex societal issues.\u201d<\/p>\n

The exhibition, book and panel discussion are part of the \u201cWomen of Impact\u201d project. The project in turn is part of an impactmania<\/em>\/AD&AM internship program whereby students created canvasses and a\u00a0video loop<\/a>\u00a0for the exhibition.<\/p>\n

The exhibition continues through September 2, 2018. The museum is open 12 p.m. to 5 p.m. on Wednesdays and Friday through Sunday, and from 12 p.m. to 8 p.m. on Thursdays. More information about the exhibition is available at\u00a0http:\/\/www.museum.ucsb.edu\/news\/event\/691<\/a>.<\/p>\n
