Howardena Pindell, Paintings and Drawings: A Retrospective Exhibition, 1972-1992

“Howardena Pindell speaks with the unapologetic voice of both a witness and a healer. Artist, writer, teacher, and activist, she dares to ask questions about identity, empowerment, and motivation. Incorporating multiple voices from the personal, cultural, and political, Pindell lays bare the painful paradoxes of her own experiences as well as the complex relations between race, class, gender, and the politics of war that are symptomatic of our contemporary American experience.”
