When you want to see the stars, you go to Adler Planetarium.
When you want to see art, you go to the Art Institute.
When you want to experience peace, you go to the Lakefront.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

And when you want to see and experience womanhood in a meta and moving way, you go to Womanish.<\/span><\/a><\/h3>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Womanish is a pop-up experience located in the heart of downtown Chicago. The exhibit spans 5-stories tall, and is made up of 16 “women-ish” experiences and perspectives. Each floor explores the complex, compelling culture of being a woman. Womanish was created by the Gray sisters. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dionna and Danyelle Gray have made it one of their life missions to empower and support women. From their podcast \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Girl Do better<\/a>\u00e2\u20ac\u009d to the creation of Woman-ish, the Gray sisters are on a roll and there are no speed bumps in sight. They founded and formed Womanish because they wanted to create a safe space for women. A place where women could gather, have fun, see themselves and see and connect with different experiences of womanhood from the eyes of different female artists. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the wake of a pandemic and social unrest, there\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s nothing we need more than connection and community, and that’s exactly what you’ll get at Womanish. An exhibit created and curated by women for women. Womanish is healing, it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s honest, it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s artistic and it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s fun; which is something we could use a little more of during this time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The theme of this exhibit is womanhood, in all the different shapes it takes.  Womanish explores the different areas and niches of womanhood: from growing  up, to embracing your sexuality as a woman, to demanding more pay. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

When I stepped into Womanish, I felt excited but also comforted. From the moment you walk in to the moment you walk out-, you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll feel engaged, emotional, sometimes enraged, but above all: elated. Elated to be in space with such amazing energy. Elated to be in a space created by artists and storytellers\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6. all of whom happen to be women. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
