The exhibition “Unheard, Collected Women” at the Gouda Museum, covering six centuries of history through the eyes of women from their collection, ended with a beautiful work by Elise 't Hart, “Let Her Name Be Heard.”
Visitors were invited to write the name of their favorite artist, or of any other woman who plays an important role in their lives, on a metal chime and hang it in the work. By setting the work in motion all the names together form an instrument of women who deserve to be heard.
Performing this simple act felt like a fitting way to conclude this blog. I have tried to show what makes Marlies and her work so special and to draw more attention to her work.
In 2027, we will conclude the project with an exhibition in Breda. Once the details are known, I will of course mention them here. See you then!
