Ms. Myrtle Grant was a laundress of color who, in the 1940s and ’50s, labored in the historic house that became the Center for Colorado Women’s History. This summer, with temperatures outside our museum reaching the triple digits, we’re always thinking of Ms. Grant, and the backbreaking labor she did in the sweltering Denver heat.

Women who performed domestic work in the kitchen or laundry room of this historic house would not have been welcomed to sit at the dining room table, a space reserved for the white residents of the home. But Ms. Grant’s story is so much bigger than the discrimination that defined her work. She was a homeowner and an entrepreneur, a mother and a grandmother, and a woman who made her own story at her own table.

Our newest exhibition at the Center for Colorado Women’s History, 12 Tablecloths, is an immersive art experience offering a source of reclamation and healing. Created in collaboration with award-winning artist and historian Chloé Duplessis, the exhibition is an Afro-futurist re-imagining of a southern dining table, inviting an investigation of historic exclusion and the question of who is welcome at our own tables now.

Experience 12 Tablecloths this summer until September 30, at the Center for Colorado Women’s History. Dive even deeper into the exhibition and hear from Duplessis herself during engaging artist talks happening throughout August and September.
