Welcome to our Half the Sky Blog!

WCA Conference participants add symbols and words about how they hold up half the sky in their lives to "journey markers" to be included in the Points of Many Connections dome in our exhibition. Photo by Amanda Rogers.

After more than a year of planning, our delegates start arriving at LuXun Academy in Shenyang in just 5 days!  Over 40 women and a handful of men have worked together to make this happen:  artists, essayists, delegates, steering committee members, jurors, LuXun Academy staff, and other WCA volunteers.  We are continually grateful to those who donated to our Indiegogo campaign. We truly could not have done this without their generosity.  We head to China with  much gratitude and hope and are excitedly anticipating being all together for the first time as a delegation and making connections with the  artists there.  

Please check out our new web page about the Cultural and Community Interactions activities we will be offering there. We will be videotaping, photographing and writing in order to create an in depth documentation of this unique event when we get back to the States. In the meantime, we will share bits  of our experiences of you here on this blog.

Gratefully,
Sherri Cornett
