今回紹介するのは、ブルックリンミュージアムで開催中の「Half the Picture: A Feminist Look at the Collection」。〈フェミニズム〉をテーマにしたアート作品を100以上展示、性や人種、社会的地位などを含む政治的なトピックで切り取ったフェミニズムを、額縁のなかに探求する。ちなみに、展示会名「Half the Picture」は、覆面アクティビスト集団ゲリラ・ガールズのポスターに書かれたメッセージ「女性や有色人種アーティストの視点なしには、あなたはその絵の半分以下（Half the picture）しか見ていないことになる」に由来している。
アンディ・ウォーホルから、ニューヨークの男性パフォーマンスアーティスト、ヴィト・アコンチ、アフリカ系アメリカ人女性アーティストのビバリー・ブキャナン、アクティビズムや政治的なカラーの強い女性英国人アーティスト、スー・コーまで、彼ら彼女らの芸術に含まれたフェミニズムの声に耳を傾けてみよう。
