This video work by Victoria Santa Cruz “addresses the public loudly, proudly, and defiantly, repeatedly chanting ‘Negra!’ The artist poetically recasts what was once an insult directed to a younger self, in a powerful pronouncement that resonates today, loudly and assertively, just as it had 40 years ago.” —Elena Shtromberg, associate professor in the Department of Art and Art History at the University of Utah. Victoria Santa Cruz (Peruvian, 1922–2014), “Me gritaron negra (They shouted black at me),” 1978. Video documentation of performance, excerpted from the documentary “Victoria—Black and Woman” (1978).

Online Reading Session #8: Cecilia Fajardo-Hill, co-curator of "Radical Women: Latin American Art (1960-1985)", 28 January 2021

28 January 2021, 18:00 h (GMT +1, Berlin time) via Zoom

In this session, we will discuss with Cecilia Fajardo-Hill some topics related to women artists, who were actively shaping the arts scene in Latin America during the 1960s to 1980s. The encounter will focus on a selection of essays from the catalogue of the exhibition "Radical Women: Latin American Art (1960-1985)", which was the first large-scale exhibition dedicated to Latin American, Chicana and Latina women artists. The exhibition took place at the Hammer Museum (Los Angeles) in 2017, travelling to the Brooklyn Museum (New York) and the Pinacoteca in São Paulo in 2018.

Abstract of the catalogue:

This stunning reappraisal offers long overdue recognition to the enormous contribution to the field of contemporary art of women artists in Latin America and those of Latino and Chicano heritage working during a pivotal time in history. Amidst the tumult and revolution that characterized the latter half of the 20th century in Latin America and the US, women artists were staking their claim in nearly every field. This wide ranging volume examines the work of more than 100 female artists with nearly 300 works in the fields of painting, sculpture, photography, video, performance art, and other experimental media. A series of thematic essays, arranged by country, address the cultural and political contexts in which these radical artists worked, while other essays address key issues such as feminism, art history, and the political body. Drawing its design and feel from the radical underground pamphlets, catalogues, and posters of the era, this is the first examination of a highly influential period in 20th-century art history.

CECILIA FAJARDO-HILL is an art historian and curator in modern and contemporary art, specialised in Latin American art. She holds a PhD in Art History from the University of Essex, England, and an MA in 20th Century Art History from the Courtauld Institute of Art, London, England. Fajardo-Hill has published and curated extensively on contemporary Latin American and international artists.  In 2017 she co-curated the touring show "Radical Women: Latin American Art, 1960-1985", the Hammer Museum, Los Angeles, 2017, and is co-curating the upcoming touring exhibition "Xican-a.o.x. Body", Phoenix Art Museum, 2021. She is co-editor of a book on Guatemalan art, 2020, and the editor of "Remains – Tomorrow: Themes in Contemporary Latin American Abstraction", 2020. She is Research Scholar at the UCLA Chicano Studies Research Center, Los Angeles and currently she is Fellowship Visiting Research Scholar in the Programme in Latin American Studies (PLAS) and Visiting Lecturer at Princeton University.

The online reading session is free of charge and will be held in English. We recommend to read the texts before the meeting.

The Zoom access link, ID code and password will be sent via e-mail.

Limited number of spaces available. Registration required.

Coordination: Katerina Valdivia Bruch

#OnThisDay in 1965

#OnThisDay August 1, 1965, ILGWU members picket in front of Gertz store in NYC, asking shoppers not to buy Judy Bond blouses while giving out “Don’t Buy Judy Bond Blouses” shopping bags!

The boycott was started by the ILGWU to protest Judy Bond Inc. moving manufacturing operations from the Northeast to the South, which began a dispute lasting over three years. The ILGWU members would strike and picket outside business establishments selling Judy Bond and handed out “Don’t Buy Judy Bond Blouses” shopping bags out to union members and the public alike, making this the widest reaching campaign of its kind. The ILGWU gave out millions of these bags during this 3 year boycott campaign!
