Premiere Showing of the Documentary
Women Creating Art for Peace &
Gender Justice:
20 Years of Collaboration Art
Women’s International League for
Peace & Freedom (WILPF) and
Friends of the Library | St. Catherine University
Over the past 20 years we, the Women’s
International League for Peace and
Freedom Arts Committee, a small group
of WILPF artists, activists, and scholars,
have shared the stories of global women
and the United Nations documents on
women through the arts in collaboration
with other peace and women’s
organizations. We believe in the power of
the arts to effect social change and to
illuminate public policies.
This documentary film by Beverly Crosby
illustrates our art making with
images, photos, videos, posters, story
boards, information handouts, books,
costumes, quilts, scripts, paintings,
posters, and sandwich boards. The
stories told raise awareness that
“Women’s Rights are Human Rights” as
illuminated in the United Nations 1995
