Ladies Who Go There! by artists Janet Braun-Reinitz (Brooklyn, NY) and Sarah Maple (Sussex, UK) is a politically motived, audience-interactive art installation consisting of one-of-a-kind collaged postcards hung on clotheslines in a reference to classic "woman's work." The installation is currently on view at the University Libraries at the University of South Dakota, 2nd floor, through October 19, and is hosted by the University Libraries' Art and Exhibits Committee.

Siouxland Artist, Inc. is an organization of artists in the region who are dedicated to fostering the development of art and spreading the appreciation of art throughout the community. For over 60 years, members of the organization have met monthly to share ideas through discussion, programs and demonstrations. They also work together to arrange exhibitions and sales at locations throughout the area. The organization is open to artists of all backgrounds, from those holding advanced degrees in art to those who are just beginning to discover their love for painting, photography, jewelry, carving, etc.

Janet Braun-Reinitz will speak in Farber Hall via Skype. Visitors will have the opportunity to ask Braun-Reinitz questions. Braun-Reinitz is a muralist, painter, teacher and activist committed to social justice, living in Brooklyn, N.Y. Her on-going commitment to social justice began in 1961 when she was a freedom rider, arrested and jailed in Little Rock, AR. Her installation, Ladies Who Go There!, with fellow artist Sarah Maple, is currently on view in the University Libraries through October 19, 2018.

A guided installation visit to Ladies Who Go There! will be led by USD Art History Professor, Lauren Freese,Ph.D., and Curator of Photographs and Digital Projects, Sarah A. Hanson-Pareek on the 2nd Floor, University Libraries (ID Weeks Library).
