For International Women’s Day, we worked with HBO to honor women’s authentic, unedited narratives. The Inspiration Room was a place to showcase real women’s stories, in their own words and also a space to hold panel discussions about the future of female led storytelling.

Hundreds of women all over the U.S. contributed to this room, with diary submissions gathered via landing page HBOInspirationRoom.com, and through the help of media partners at The Wing, Bustle and theSkimm. The physical space housed these diaries in various forms, including compilation books, large-scale installations and audio recordings, as well as other forms of self-expression.

Some of HBO’s own talent was also featured in the exhibit, including Lena Dunham, Issa Rae, and several others. Additionally, the Room included a contribution from the collection of novelist Agatha Christie.
