WCPUN congratulates artist and collaborator Monika Weiss on receiving the Woman of Distinction Award from the New York State Assembly’s 73rd District, presented by Assemblymember Alex Bores. Weiss’s work—renowned for its exploration of the body, history, and collective memory—engages with themes including gender-based violence. This recognition highlights Weiss’s contributions to the cultural life of the District, which is also home to United Nations Headquarters, and underscores the importance of artistic voices in advancing social engagement.
