In this webinar, we will learn about contemporary art from a female, immigrant, brown perspective. Art has never been a field of equality for men and women, and there are many studies and statistics that show those numbers. Less than 12% of museum art collections is sourced from women artists, and less than 20% of the work exhibited in galleries is by women. This is part of the inequalities that we face, in addition to many other challenges that artists face.
