If you ask someone to name five artists, they will likely name prominent male artists, but how many people can list five women artists? Throughout March’s Women’s History Month, we will be joining institutions around the world to answer this very question posed by the National Museum of Women in the Arts (NWMA). Together we hope to draw attention to the gender imbalance in the art world, inspire conversation and awareness, and hopefully add a few more women’s names to everyone’s lists.Magdalene Odundo is a ceramic artist interested in the global history of pottery and in artists’ relationships to clay as a medium. Born in Kenya, raised in India, and educated in Kenya and England, she draws her inspiration from the pottery traditions of the Nupe and Ganda peoples of eastern Africa, of Native American pueblo peoples, and of peoples of the ancient Mediterranean. Her work often appears anthropomorphic, abstractly referencing the female form.Can you name #5WomenArtists? -- source link
