The Brooklyn Museum is showcasing a retrospective exhibition on Elizabeth Catlett, a renowned artist known for her intersectional politics and multilingual visual vocabulary. The exhibit features prints, ephemera, sculptures, and paintings that explore themes of social justice, motherhood, and African identity. Born in Washington D.C. in 1915, Catlett's work predates the Black Power Movement and critiques white feminism. Her experiences as a communist activist led to her exile from the US in 1952, but she continued to create art that advocated for global solidarity among oppressed people.
