Join us in celebrating Fall 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, 2023-2024 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.
