(H)errata: Women, Art, and Revolution, film-in-progress by Lynn Hershman Leeson followed by a panel with Faith Ringgold, Joan Semmel, Mimi Smith. Moderated by Ferris Olin. (H)errata: Women, Art, and Revolution is a montage of conversations with artists who helped shape the feminist art movement. Hershman Leeson began the project 40 years ago and it has since become a visual memoir enriched by unprecedented access to artwork, films, archives, and ephemera. A distinguished filmmaker, Hershman Leeson has recently been awarded a Creative Capital grant to aide in the completion of the film.

Faith Ringgold has been making art for over 50 years. Best known for her story quilts that combine painting, fabric, and storytelling. Ringgold is also a children’s book author and illustrator, who has won numerous awards such as the Caldecott Medal, Coretta Scott King Award, and 2 National Endowment for the Arts Awards.

Joan Semmel was born and raised in New York City and attended the High School of Music and Arts. Painting the body (very often herself), Semmel was one of the artists who revolutionized how the female figure is represented. She recently received an Anonymous Was A Woman award and is one of three artists in a current exhibition at the Wexner Center.

Mimi Smith learned to sew with her grandmother as a child, and as a young art student began using textiles to create sculptures. Her materials—such as rubber, cloth, and plastics—and the frequent presence of clothing highlight her attraction to accessibility and her desire to redefine stereotypically female materials.

Ferris Olin is the co-director of the Rutgers Institute for Women and Art and the national coordinator of The Feminist Art Project along with Judith K. Brodsky.
