In September, we will explore Taking Back Our Space: Photographic Perspectives with assistant curator Caitlin Ryan. The exhibition brings artist Marianne Wex’s watershed feminist photography project into dialogue with contemporary artists Nona Faustine, Martine Gutierrez, K8 Hardy, Yuki Kihara, Joiri Minaya, Paulina Olowska, and Wendy Red Star. These contemporary practitioners reappraise the relationship of bodies to public space from Black, queer, and 21st-century feminist perspectives. In this context, the notion of “taking back space” resonates as a reclamation of physical territory, historical narratives, and the ability to represent oneself.
