This weekend we’re celebrating our brand new exhibition to We Wanted a Revolution: Black Radical Women, 1965–85) with a jam-packed weekend of programming. After our opening on Thursday, join us all day Friday for a day-long symposium that delves deep into the revolutionary artistic practices on view in the exhibition. Hear from the show curators and leading art historians on the importance of new modes of artistic production employed by artists and gain greater insight on the context of art-making in this critical time period from the artists themselves. Expect to hear brand new scholarship about art from the period and hear directly from some of the most important living black women artists about what it was like to create art at the intersection of various political movements.
