Through the Flower, now an iconic phrase that lends itself to Chicago’s nonprofit and its new art space, both in Belen, New Mexico, pulsates with potential. The flower-as-vulvic-symbol, an instance of Chicago’s “central core” imagery, becomes a portal, something we can go “through” in order to access history, collectivity, and pleasure. No longer can women’s art and women’s experiences be overlooked or pushed aside. Instead, we must enter them, go through them, or allow them to move through us as we attempt to create more equitable and inclusive histories.
