In the 50 years since the publication of Linda Nochlin’s groundbreaking essay “Why Have There Been No Great Women Artists?” the art world—and the world itself—has changed in dramatic ways. This talk will explore what a text published in 1971 might teach us still, in the wake of Black Lives Matter; global protests against deepening inequalities, especially those tied to gender; and the influence of Black feminist thought and intersectional analysis.
