Albright-Knox Members are invited to attend a Members’ Opening for We Wanted a Revolution: Black Radical Women, 1965–85. This exhibition examines the political, social, cultural, and aesthetic priorities of women of color from the mid-1960s to the mid-1980s. It is the first exhibition to highlight the voices and experiences of women of color—distinct from the primarily white, middle-class mainstream feminist movement—in order to reorient conversations around race, feminism, political action, art production, and art history in this significant historical period.
RSVP online, or contact 716.270.8247 or membership@albrightknox.org.
A free public opening will follow from 7 to 9 pm, and a Voices in Contemporary Art artist talk with Dindga McCannon will take place at 7:15 pm in the Auditorium.
