Radical Women: Latin American Art, 1960 – 1985 is an exhibition of work by 120 artists from fifteen Latin countries who primarily use their bodies for political, social, and artistic expression.

The exhibition is on view at The Brooklyn Museum in Prospect Park, Wednesday – Sunday from April 13 – July 22, 2018.

The Role of Women in Society

Given that women are generally the primary caregivers of children, I have often wondered why mindless machismo is allowed to continue unchecked.

Why have we allowed traditions that devalue women to pass from one generation to another? We have a lot to contribute. Any society that diminishes the contributions of half its people is doomed to fail in a globalized world.

Of course social progress is not easy. We work under the limitations of a patriarchal society. Machismo devalues or even completely disregards our work. Poverty limits our reach. The political environment in many Latin American countries makes it personally dangerous to advocate for change.

Anyway, we have been trying. To avoid shaming, arrest or worse, we often communicate in code. That brings us to art.

This exhibition arrives in America’s #MeToo moment. It couldn’t have been planned that way, but great art often has a mind of its own.


1960 – 1985

Work in the exhibition must be viewed in the context of its own time. This was a period of great social change and stirring globalization.

The 1960s brought a counterculture movement against the Vietnam War and for Civil Rights and the Chicano movement to the United States. 1967 produced a global explosion of youthful energy. The Gay Rights movement started in 1969. The time also brought dictatorship to many Latin American countries.

The 1970s brought environmentalism, women’s rights, and the sexual revolution to the forefront. New York City went bankrupt. Wall Street started investing overseas starting great economic changes in underdeveloped countries.

The 1980s brought us decolonization and the personal computer revolution.

Artists are organized by country of birth or the country where they did most of their work.
