A Yellow Rose Project now open

The TWU Fine Arts Building East/West Galleries is hosting “A Yellow Rose Project,” an exhibit celebrating the centennial of the 19th Amendment, through Sept. 5.

The exhibit is a photographic collaboration of 106 women across the country inspired by women lobbying for the vote 100 years ago wearing yellow roses, a symbol of support for the suffrage movement, at the legislative session in Tennessee.

Launched in 2020 to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the 19th amendment, “A Yellow Rose Project” was created by Meg Griffiths, associate professor of photography at Texas Woman’s University, and Frances Jakubek, director of exhibitions and operations at the Bruce Silverstein Gallery in New York City.
