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 once again to answer this very question posed by the National Museum of Women in the Arts (NWMA). We will be featuring artists from our upcoming exhibition We Wanted a Revolution: Black Radical Women, 1965-85 which examines the political, social, cultural, and aesthetic priorities of women of color during the emergence of second-wave feminism. The show will be on view April 21-September 17, 2017.   Together we hope to draw attention to the gender and race imbalance in the art world, inspire conversation and awareness, and hopefully add a few more women of color to everyone’s lists.

In 1971, Dindga McCannon co-founded the “Where We At” Black Women Artists collective with Kay Brown, Faith Ringgold, and other artists. Excluded from the largely white downtown art world, as well as from the black art world, the women met to support one another’s work and organized exhibitions, educational programs, and childcare for one another. McCannon painted this portrait of fellow “Where We At” artist Akweke Singho.

Carrie Mae Weems's RESIST COVID TAKE 6! is a public art campaign that brings awareness to how the COVID-19 pandemic has disproportionately impacted Black, Brown, and Indigenous communities, due to preexisting economic and social inequities. Weems uses the visual language of advertising in her campaign, combining photographs, texts, and bold graphics to dispel myths about COVID-19 and promote known preventive measures. The project also thanks frontline workers and encourages eligible voters to cast their ballots in the upcoming elections.⁠ ⁠

Since its launch in April 2020, the campaign has reached more than ten U.S. cities. Continuing at the Brooklyn Museum, the collaboration with Weems features several components: a large site-specific installation of text wrapping our plaza steps, PSA-like videos playing on our stoop and lobby screens, and artist-designed hand fans that will be given out at our outdoor events. Some aspects of Weems’ project were done in collaboration with the Peace Poets and the Brotherhood/Sister Sol.

Check out RESIST COVID TAKE 6! at the Muesum through November 8.
