This lecture inaugurates part 2 of the series  “Art’s Inclusive Histories: In Celebration of the 100th Anniversary of Women’s Suffrage.” For Fall 2020, HESCAH commemorates the centennial by featuring gender and/or women-centered research with an eye to its intersectional, transnational and intergenerational complexity in the arts. Dr. Kellie Jones launches the series with the question: “What if the History of Art were taught as a history of women artists?” This query provides the framing and context for her consideration of work by artists Lourdes Grobet of Mexico and New York born Candida Alvarez.

Dr. Kellie Jones, Hans Hofmann Professor of Modern Art, Department of Art History & Archaeology, and Professor of African American & African Diaspora Studies, Columbia University
