With its door slam heard around the world in 1879, Ibsen’s A Doll’s House
ignited a debate about what it means to be female and male. A
hundred-forty years later, our understanding of human identity goes well
beyond traditional ideas of gender and sexuality. This project examines
the past, explores the present, and celebrates a future where every
individual is empowered to live as their own authentic self.

enGENDERing Change features the award-winning new play A Doll’s House, Part 2,
a national juried art exhibition, and more! Combining the arts,
education, activism, and community engagement, our project affirms the
continuing need to fight for gender equity, to champion an individual’s
right to self-determination, and to foster the extraordinary diversity
which enriches our community.
