The title, “Always Here,” is a reference to feminist art historian Linda Nochlin’s
seminal essay “Why Have There Been No Great Women Artists?,” published in
Artnews in 1971.Examining the cultural basis of exclusion and the
naturalization of sexist structures, Nochlin states that art is shaped by
education and years of experimentation. Throughout history, women
everywhere were unable to receive education on equal terms with men.
