Picturing Power & Potential:
A Project of Economica
Picturing Power & Potential, the first in a series of special projects of Economica, is now open online at IMOW.org and in a physical exhibition at San Francisco City Hall. Picturing Power & Potential is a juried photography show that features photographs of women around the world exercising their power as change-agents in the global economy.
Economica: Women and the Global Economy
I.M.O.W.'s latest global online exhibition Economica: Women and the Global Economy addresses issues encompassing two prominent cross-currents affecting women around the world today. On the one hand, women are the majority of the world's poor and exploited. On the other hand, women form an increasing percentage of the world's entrepreneurs, business leaders, shoppers and philanthropists. Economica illuminates the range of ways that women interact with money--as earners, consumers, caretakers and decision makers in households, board rooms, halls of government and international financial institutions.

Imagining Ourselves
This award-winning exhibition of the International Museum of Women connected young women around the world and inspired them to create positive change in their own lives, their communities, or globally.
Between March 8, 2006 and December 31, 2007, more than a million people participated in Imagining Ourselves. The project included a published anthology, a series of global events, and this dynamic multilingual online exhibition of user-contributed film, photography, music, poetry and personal essays--all in response to the question, "What defines your generation of women?"
