Nash Gallery at the University of Minnesota to organize The Women and Money Project, a group exhibition that will investigate the relationship between women and money through a contemporary lens. The exhibition and related public programs will posit questions and initiate visual and verbal dialogue regarding economics, of which money is a by-product, a construct, and a human creation.<\/p>\n<p>Money has evolved from an \u201cexchange of value\u201d to a purpose of its own that has, in some instances, created its own scarcity. Women have experienced this scarcity and will have the opportunity to bring artistic voices to the discussion. Money is a topic that has historically been rarely discussed, even in intimate relationships, in spite of the national and international economic issues that are reported daily in the media.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"university of minnesota clip\" width=\"625\" height=\"352\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/O7fXx4BMgK8?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/thewomenandmoneyproject.org\/events\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>The Women and Money Project Public Events<\/strong><\/a><br \/>\nAll events are held in the InFlux Space, Regis Center for Art, 405-21st Ave. S.
