THIS WEEK on Feminist Magazine with host Lynn Harris Ballen : FIRST … Guest host Saba Waheed talks to Jaishri Abichandani – a Brooklyn-based, multimedia artist about her stunning new exhibit, Flower-Headed Children at the Craft Contemporary in LA through May 8th.
Over her 25-year career, Abichandani has created works that open traditional devotional iconography and narratives to contemporary anti-racist, feminist, queer, and politically radical possibilities.
They’re joined by the exhibit curator – Anuradha Vikram, an independent curator and author of Decolonizing Culture a collection of essays that address questions of race and gender parity in contemporary art spaces.
AND … Ever since the first Africans were brought to North America on cargo ships, Black women have helped build America. While Black women have played a critical role in the development of the nation, their stories have been mostly overlooked. In the new book, A Black Women’s History of the United States, historians Daina Ramey Berry PhD and Kali Nicole Gross honor the many significant contributions of Black women who have worked tirelessly to build this country and fight for social justice in the face of racism and sexism.
