Christina Ramberg: A Retrospective

Christina Ramberg (1946–1995) occupies a unique place within Chicago
Imagism. Like her contemporaries, she shared an interest in the human
form as a source of expressive meaning. Yet her covert images of the female
body, offering a decidedly feminist view of women’s identity and desire, have
only recently been given their rightful due.

Interview with Monika Fabijanska: Women at War

Women at War gathers the works of twelve Ukrainian artists who employ a variety of media to address the Russian war against Ukraine, from its beginning in 2014 to the full-scale invasion in February 2022, through the lens of gendered experience. The exhibition explores the struggle for Ukrainian independence and women’s equality against the backdrop of the war and its impact on both the national and individual psyche while giving voice to women as narrators of history and agents of change. Curated by Monika Fabijanska, Women at War premiered at Fridman Gallery, New York, in the summer of 2022, and continues its North American tour through 2025.(1) I recently spoke with Fabijanska, known for her critically acclaimed exhibitions focusing on women and women’s art, about the challenges of organizing an exhibition about war alongside the show’s many themes of loss and resiliency, national identity, and feminism.
