Ana Mendieta and Betty Parsons are included in ‘She Persists: A Century of Women Artists in New York, 1919 – 2019’, a curated installation of Gracie Mansion’s official rooms on the 100th anniversary of women’s suffrage in New York and in the United States.
‘She Persists’ featured more than 60 works done by local women between the year Congress passed the 19th Amendment granting them the right to vote and its centennial. It celebrated the city’s wide-ranging history of women’s contributions to the arts and told stories about the daily lives of all New Yorkers, revealing the ways in which those included – past and present – creatively interrogate the possibilities for progress, equality, equity, and freedom across race, class and gender lines.
