Margot Norton, chief curator at BAMPFA, emphasizes the vital role of the exhibition 'Making Their Mark: Works from the Shah Garg Collection' in influencing all ages, not just young artists. Featuring over 70 women artists, it showcases pivotal works that expand artistic dialogue and challenge traditional male-dominated narratives. Norton highlights transformative pieces like Dyani White Hawk's work, which ignites conversations on Indigenous perspectives and abstraction. The exhibition is a celebration of intergenerational dialogue among iconic and emerging artists, making a significant impact on the art world.
There are so many works [in this exhibition] that were pivotal in terms of opening up so much space for so many generations.
Not just in terms of them being women artists, but how they were understanding artistic traditions, showing all the wealth of knowledge that also exists outside of traditionally male dominated art historical traditions.
I feel like this show really starts off with a bang of intergenerational dialogue.
By presenting the scene from her perspective, the Sicangu Lakota, German, and Welsh artist cleared the way for dialogue about Indigenous and geometric abstraction.
