Depths of History: Gender-Based Violence in Art

Depths of History: Gender-Based Violence in Art

Registration is required.

Works of art created by artists with reputations for sexual misconduct or reflecting gender-based violence have challenged museums to confront questions about display, context, and transparency.

Should the bad behavior of artists such as Pablo Picasso be separated from their art? What role should institutions have in communicating about abuse perpetrated by artists, and how can they best prepare visitors to view art that depicts gender-based violence? How should museums consider the perspective of survivors in the display of potentially triggering works?

Join guest speakers Hannah Brancato, artist, activist, and co-founder of FORCE: Upsetting Rape Culture; Ella Gonzalez, co-editor of Gender Violence, Art, and the Viewer: An Intervention; and Keonna Hendrick, Deputy Director of Learning and Social Impact at the Brooklyn Museum, in a conversation about these questions and more, moderated by journalist Christina Cauterucci.
