I am so excited about this #NewExhibition

"Elizabeth Catlett: A Black Revolutionary Artist and All That It Implies," which opens today, September 13 at @brooklynmuseum, and will be on view through January 19, 2025!

Reposted from @brooklynmuseum The #BrooklynMuseum looks forward to welcoming you to the first major retrospective spotlighting the visionary artist and unwavering activist, #ElizabethCatlett.

With over 150 of Catlett’s well-known and rarely-seen artworks across sculpture, prints, paintings, and ephemera, this exhibition traces a career of creative artistry and bold political activism. As a sculptor and print-maker, Catlett was committed to depicting the strength and struggles of both Black American and Mexican communities.

In fact, the exhibition title takes inspiration from a talk Catlett gave in 1970, following a decade of exile from the United States in response to her political activism in Mexico. Catlett said: “I have been, am currently, and always hope to be a Black revolutionary artist and all that it implies.”
