Description: Industrial Design is one of the last professions where women are still underwhelmingly represented. 5% is the statistic most frequently quoted as the percentage of women currently practicing in the field. This skewed ratio is not limited to Canada, but generally spans across the developed world. The 5% exhibition celebrates the work of seven established Canadian women industrial designers whose national and international success defies the odds. 5% presents Canadian designers, Helen Kerr (Toronto); Diane Bisson (Montreal); Dianne Croteau (Toronto); Rachel Dacks (Savannah); Patty Johnson (Toronto); Cynthia Hathaway (the Hague); Michelle Ivankovic (Amsterdam).
