Lara Schnitger: Suffragette City
Hammer Museum
Following a tradition of artists’ street performance and protest marches, on Saturday artist Lara Schnitger presents Suffragette City, a procession through Westwood of sculptures that comprise images, forms, and texts explicitly addressing women’s rights. With public participation at its core, the procession is both playful and political, inspired by the history of feminist agitprop as well as increasingly imperative demands for equality and safety in light of recent events. On Sunday, Schnitger will present a selection of art and documentary films that focus on feminist speech and civil rights.
The UCLA Arts community is welcomed to participate in Suffragette City. If you'd like the join the procession on Saturday, please email January Arnall at the Hammer Museum to sign up.
