A Woman’s Afterlife: Gender Transformation in Ancient Egypt
Brooklyn Museum of Art,Brooklyn,USA;NewYork
The ancient Egyptians believed that to make rebirth possible for a deceased woman, she briefly had to turn into a man. Guided by new research inspired in part by feminist scholarship, the exhibition tells this remarkable story of gender transformation in the ancient world through 27 objects from the museum's Egyptian collection that explore the differences between male and female access to the afterlife. It is part of a year-long series of 10 exhibitions celebrating the 10th anniversary of the Elizabeth A. Sackler Center for Feminist Art. (On display indefinitely.)
