The Conversation
Countering Unconscious Bias: Gender and Identity as Action in the Arts is a conversation between women and gender non-conforming individuals operating in multiple fields of the expanding art world. During the month of March, which is typically titled Women’s History Month, this panel seeks to actively reframe the inequality that ripples through creative spaces. Through lived experience, creative process, and professional practice, this panel invites reflection on the evolution of bias in the arts and analyzes gender and identity as praxis. Beyond identifying sexism as an issue in the contemporary art world, 621 invites participants to discuss current and future actions.
