Text

1979 was a radical year in art and pop culture, and one that likewise had radical consequences for American culture as well as for the art and life of artist Howardena Pindell. Join curator and director of LAXART, Hamza Walker, and exhibition curator Naomi Beckwith as they consider this seminal moment in history.

Funding

The Antje B. and John J. Jelinek Endowed Lecture and Symposium on Contemporary Art is made possible through a generous gift to the Chicago Contemporary Campaign.
