A PLACE OF HER OWN, a multi-phase, multi-disciplinary project which poses the question:
If you had a place of your own, what would it be? How would you express it creatively.
Join us as we explore universal issues faced by women. Envision your life without rules or expectations. Interact with the world on your own terms.
When AAWAA poses the question, “If you had a place of your own, what would it be?”
and provide the creative vehicles by which the answers can be explored, examined and exhibited that it would lead to profound answers and increased consciousness.

The first phase of AAWAA's ongoing project was launched at the de Young the entire month of January 2009: Artists-in-Residence program at the de Young Museum.
In the de Young’s Kimball Gallery, artists examined their answers to the question, "If you had a place of your own, what would it be?" while working on their installation and interacting with the public.
Many personal transformations took place for both the artists and the public participants alike.
