Polishing the Glass Ceiling

Preston Bradley Hall, 3rd Floor South

Chicago Cultural Center, Chicago IL

2021

Polishing the Glass Ceiling is a durational performance set in the Chicago Cultural Center. Combining repetitive domestic actions with impossible physical tasks, I aimed to make visible the challenges faced by women working for the Tiffany Glass Decorating Company during the construction of this building.
