PANEL DISCUSSION: Women Curate Women

Check out a discussion with four New Mexico women curators who have each curated woman-centered art exhibitions in New Mexico this year:  Andrea R. Hanley (Feminisms, 516 ARTS, Albuquerque; Mary Statzer (Indelible Ink: Native Women, Printmaking, Collaboration, UNM Art Museum, Albuquerque); Marisa Sage (Labor: Motherhood in Art in 2020, NMSU Art Museum, Las Cruces; and Lucy Lippard (Feminist Art in the Age of Trump, Axle Contemporary, Santa Fe). Moderated by Lauren Tresp (publisher and editor, Southwest Contemporary, Santa Fe), this discussion around curating femme and femme-identifying artwork will span multiple themes relating these exhibitions exploring feminist themes. Subjects include: the value of gender-based art exhibitions; the cultural and economic circumstances negotiated by female artists and curators; how feminist exhibitions serve as platforms that ground conversations about equality, misogyny, and art world bias; and how art can serve as a departure point for the cause of social justice.
