Roots of The Dinner Party | Feminist Flashback FridayThe core group of “The Dinner Party” workers participated in consciousness-raising exercises and “rap sessions,” allowing them to better facilitate the completion of the project and simultaneously, to encounter and incorporate feminist methodology into their lives and work. The core team included Project Coordinator Diane Gelon, Installation Designer Ken Gilliam, Head of Needlework Susan Hill, Head of Research Ann Isolde, Head of Ceramics Judye Keyes, and ceramics specialist Leonard Skuro, among others.
