Radical Women: Latin American Art, 1960-1985

This on-line seminar explores works by a number of female artists included in the exhibition Radical Women: Latin American Art, 1960–1985, which was shown at the Hammer Museum in Los Angeles, the Brooklyn Museum in New York, and the Pinacoteca de São Paulo in Brazil. Touching on artists based in 15 countries, this seminar will explore works that were radical not only for their form but also for their content, embodying feminist and other progressive ideologies that often constituted resistance to authoritarianism and otherwise oppressive regimes and their legacies. Artists to be discussed will include, amongst others, Lygia Clark, Marisol, Ana Mendieta, Marta Minujín, Lygia Pape, Liliana Porter, Regina Silveira, and Cecilia Vicuña.
