Project Statement

A Yellow Rose Project is a large-scale photographic collaboration made by women all across the country. In 2019 artists were invited to make work in response, reflection, or reaction to the ratification of the 19th Amendment. The goal of this project was to provide a focal point and platform for image makers to share contemporary viewpoints as we approached the centennial. Our mission in researching the complication of this anniversary was to gain a deeper understanding of American history and culture, from a particular moment in time, to build a bridge from the past to the present and on to the future.
