Hammer Museum's 'Radical Women' to spotlight women united by struggle and overlooked by history

Latina and Latin American women artists rarely get air time in U.S. museums. That will change next fall when the Pacific Standard Time series of exhibitions devoted to art from Latino and Latin American artists around the globe is set to touch down in Los Angeles. Of particular note will be "Radical Women: Latin American Art, 1960-1985," at the Hammer Museum, set to take place in the fall of 2017. Today, the museum released the list of participating artists -- a lengthy lineup that includes 260 works by 118 artists (all women) from the U.S., Mexico, Central America, the Caribbean and South America. Even Paraguay, never a contender in surveys about Latin American art, has two artists represented in the show.
