LORRAINE O'GRADY (1934-2024)
Briefly

"As an advantaged member of a disadvantaged group, I've lived my life on the rim-a dialectically privileged location that's helped keep my political awareness acute."
"The main reason my art is 'political' is probably that anger is my most productive emotion."
"Her joyful 1983 performance Art Is . . . presented everyday people of color as framed living art, boldly challenging prevailing Western power structures."
"O'Grady's diverse body of work dares to examine the interplay of culture, race, class, and gender, leaving a lasting impact on future generations of artists."
