We Wanted a Revolution: Black Radical Women, 1965-85, ICA/Boston, June 27–September 30, 2018

We Wanted a Revolution: Black Radical Women, 1965–85 examined the “political, social, cultural, and aesthetic priorities of women of color during the emergence of second-wave feminism.” This groundbreaking exhibition was the first to foreground the voices of women of color and as “distinct from the primarily white, middle-class mainstream feminist movement—in order to reorient conversations around race, feminism, political action, art production, and art history in this significant historical period.” For the closing public program, Hong was in conversation with artist Dindga McCannon as well as Barbara Smith and Beverly Smith, two founders of the revolutionary Combahee River Collective.
