Join us in celebrating the exhibition Dissident Sisters: Bev Grant and Feminist Activism, 1968-72 and the stories it shares of civil rights and social justice movements in the United States. Artist Bev Grant will be in conversation with co-curator Ruslana Lichtzier, 2023-24 Block Museum Art History Graduate Fellow, to discuss Grant’s artistic practice documenting and participating in radical political movements in the late 1960s and 70s. Sarah Brown, Director of the Women’s Center at Northwestern University, will provide an introduction to the history of this groundbreaking intersectional feminist activism and its legacies in the ongoing work of the Women’s Center at Northwestern today. The conversation will be followed by an audience Q&A.

Co-presented with the Northwestern Women's Center
