Artist, writer, and activist Sabra Moore reads from her forthcoming memoir and shares original archival materials now housed in Archives and Special Collections. The collection and memoir feature over 180 different art works and 79 individual artists, covering a fascinating range of topics, from the documentation of WAR (Women Artists in Revolution) Women’s Services (the first legal abortion clinic in NY), and the Heresies Collective, to the 1984 demonstration against MoMA’s lack of inclusivity in its collections. Moore takes us on a tour of the roads where feminist art and activism intersect, and shines new light on artwork by such luminaries as Nancy Spero, Faith Ringgold, Cecilia Vicuña, Howardena Pindell, Josely Carvalho, Liliana Porter, Ida Applebroog, Carolee Schneemann, May Stevens, Tomie Arai, and Ana Castillo.
