Video Title:
Orchids Hidden Stories of Groundbreaking Women
Description:
The exhibition, Orchids: Hidden Stories of Groundbreaking Women, (opening January 2022) features a living collection - orchids - and hidden stories of groundbreaking women who have contributed to orchids through scientific discovery, orchid cultivation, art, and botanical illustration. The goal of the exhibition is to highlight female scientists, horticulturists, and artists who have contributed to our understanding and appreciation of orchids, but whose achievements have often been overlooked. The session will discuss how Smithsonian Gardens transformed an exhibit known for its stunningly beautiful orchid display into one that highlights historic and current examples of the artistic and scientific contributions women have made and continue to make to broaden the public’s recognition and appreciation of unsung but influential women. Presenters: Cindy Brown, Melanie Pyle, Marisa Scalera, Sarah Hedean, Justin Kondrat, Virginia Velez Thaxton, and Alexandra Miles Thompson
