Great minds think alike! We love to see Seba Calfuqueo's work included in this year's editions of both the Whitney Biennial and the Venice Bienniale!
Calfuqueo's work was the subject of the latest installment of our Screen Series. Across her work in performance, video, installation, and ceramics, the artist takes her Mapuche heritage as a starting point to critically reflect on the social, cultural, and political status of Indigenous subjects in contemporary Chile and Latin America.

Faith Ringgold: on her art
🌟 Honoring the Legacy of Faith Ringgold 🌟
As we mourn the passing of Faith Ringgold, an extraordinary artist, educator, and activist, we remember her immeasurable impact on the art world.
Ringgold was a visionary who seamlessly wove together personal narratives, collective histories, and social justice advocacy in her work. Her career bridged the vibrant energy of the Harlem Renaissance with the urgent political art of contemporary Black artists working today, many of whom cite her as inspiration.
From creating some of the most indelible artworks of the civil rights era to challenging accepted hierarchies of art versus craft with her groundbreaking story quilts, Ringgold produced a body of work that continues to bear witness to the complexity of the American experience.
Her creativity, courage, and commitment to justice will forever inspire us.
