Judy Chicago’s “The City of Ladies” installation brings together the work of over eighty women and genderqueer artists from across centuries, contextualizing Chicago’s practice within a genealogy of feminist art-making.
For this evening of talks and conversations, we’ve invited a new generation of writers and thinkers to make their own connections with the alternative art history canon presented in “City of Ladies.” Speakers will take up individual works and themes in the installation, addressing motherhood, the erotic, feminist activism, and the performance of gender through personal responses.
Scholar Sophie Lewis, poet Simone White, and writer Kate Zambreno will each speak in response to a work featured in the installation, followed by a conversation with moderator and exhibition co-curator Madeline Weisburg.
