What’s art history without the inclusion of female artists? My guest explains why a complete picture of history is impossible when you view it through the dominant narrative instead of hearing a plurality of voices. Associate Curator, Elizabeth A. Sackler Center for Feminist Art, Brooklyn Museum and co-curator of “Half the Picture: A Feminist Look at the Collection,” Carmen Hermo.
Carmen talks with me about the exhibit (at the Brooklyn Museum through March 31, 2019), the themes that are still relevant today, how we grapple with it and try to do better moving forward. With Artsy writing just last week that “A study found that 85% of artists in U.S. museum collections are white, and 87% are male,” the exhibit seems timelier than ever.
