Elizabeth Catlett (1915-2012) was a transformative artist and activist whose works embody her commitment to social justice across her lifetime. From her roots in Washington, DC, and her experiences of class and racial injustices during the Great Depression, to her artistic development in Mexico, Catlett engaged deeply with themes of race, feminism, and imperialism. This retrospective features over 100 of her works, reflecting her influences from diverse artistic traditions and her dedication to making art accessible, all while advocating for change through her art today.
I have been, and am currently, and always hope to be a Black revolutionary artist, and all that it implies.
Bringing together over 100 works from across Catlett's awe-inspiring career, this long-overdue retrospective showcases the significant role this revolutionary artist and radical activist played in her time.
