Heritage and Harmony: Her Art, Her Voice

The National Women’s History Museum, in collaboration with pianist Donna Weng Friedman, is proud to present Heritage and Harmony: Her Art, Her Voice, a video series designed and dedicated to inspire and empower school-aged girls of color to find their true voice and see themselves in the faces of extraordinary women from a variety of artistic backgrounds.

The Heritage and Harmony: Her Art, Her Voice video series spotlights leading women in the arts from diverse backgrounds and a wide range of artistic fields. These trailblazing women have recorded their unique at-home videos to impart life-affirming stories of heritage, convey their personal challenges and triumphs, and showcase their incredible accomplishments. 

We are pleased to share the history, stories, and accomplishments of these extraordinary living female BIPOC/AAPI artists for all to experience, connect with, and enjoy. 

This program was made possible in part by a generous donation from the C.B. Sweatt Foundation and an anonymous charitable foundation.
