In honor of Women’s History Month, Black Swan Yoga and the Museum’s young professionals’ group, NEXTGen, invite you to a unique workout experience to keep your mind and body supremely strong! Then, join us for an exclusive look at the Woman, the Spirit of the Universe exhibition. Designed and created by artist Carolyn Marks Johnson, the exhibition features stunning bronze collars inspired by 23 American heroines who fought bravely and tirelessly for equality.

The women featured in the exhibition span generations, from Margaret Brent, a de facto attorney in the late 1600s to two giants of Texas politics, Governor Ann Richards and Representative Barbara Jordan. Other leading women in the exhibition include Dolores Huerta, who brought labor rights to grape pickers; Chief Wilma Mankiller, who led the Cherokee Nation; Sojourner Truth, who carried the message of abolition to every part of America she could reach; and abolitionist and social activist Harriet Tubman, known for freeing enslaved people through the Underground Railroad. The most recognizable collar of the exhibition represents the iconic Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, affectionately known as Notorious RBG. Ginsburg was known to wear different collars to express a variety of messages while sitting on the court.

Spring Sip & Stretch Ticket includes:

  • Yoga class led by Black Swan Yoga
  • Admission to Woman, the Spirit of the Universe at Holocaust Museum Houston
  • Light bites and bubbly
  • Complimentary parking at Asia Society
