Modern Women: The Influencers Who Shaped Palm Springs
This exhibition honors the women who have played key roles in the development, promotion, and conservation of Modern Architecture in the Palm Springs area.
Combining archival documents with contemporary images and oral testimonies, this exhibition highlights the multidimensional contributions of women practitioners and influencers in the field. Through a series of eight portraits that each highlight a single project, Modern Women examines the impact of women in essential roles that bring architecture to life: as politicians, clients, developers, patrons, architects, interior designers, scholars, and conservationists.
The exhibition also presents a newly constructed timeline of women contributors to the area from 1908 until now, offering a nuanced perspective on architectural history and its interconnected disciplines. Celebrating the holdings of the Architecture and Design Center, Modern Women focuses on individuals for whom we hold archival documents.
