National Geographic presents a touring exhibition celebrating women worldwide, and it opens at Historic City Hall Arts and Cultural Center, 1001 Ryan Street, on Saturday, June 4. It will remain on view in Lake Charles through August 13.
The show is divided into six chapters – Beauty, Joy, Love, Strength, and Hope – and comprises a selection of images taken from the National Geographic archive, focusing on past, present and future challenges in different countries and historical periods. Every image depicts specific aspects of female existence, showing how the figure of the woman and her representation have evolved over time.
