Where We At
"Where We At" Black Women Artists, Inc. (WWA) was a collective of black women artists affiliated with the Black Arts Movement of the 1960s and 1970s. It included artists such as Dindga McCannon, Kay Brown, Faith Ringgold, Jerri Crooks, Charlotte Kâ (Richardson), and Vivian E. Browne. It was formed in the spring of 1971, in the wake of an exhibition of the same name organized by 14 black women artists at the Acts of Art Gallery in Greenwich Village. Themes such as the unity of the Black family, Black male-female relationships, contemporary social conditions, and African traditions were central to the work of the WWA artists. The group was intended to serve as a source of empowerment for African-American women, providing a means for them to control their self-representation and to explore issues of Black women’s sensibility and aesthetics. Like AfriCobra, a Chicago-based Black Arts group, the WWA was active in fostering art within the African-American community and using it as a tool of awareness and liberation. The group organized workshops in schools, hospitals, and cultural centers, as well as art classes for youth in their communities.〔(Cornell's “Blackness in Color” Conference Website. )〕
== Context ==
In the 1960s, in the wake of the Civil Rights and Black Arts Movements, the work of African-American artists had begun gaining more attention in the mainstream art world. However, many black women artists felt neglected by both the male-dominated Black Arts Movement, the largely white Feminist art movement, as well as the mainstream art world. While several individual female artists, including Elizabeth Catlett, Faith Ringgold, Camille Billops, Inge Hardison, Lois Mailou Jones and Betye Saar, gained national attention, most practicing black women artists in New York found it difficult to find venues for their work in either black- or white-run galleries and museums. The initial "Where We At: Black Women Artists" exhibition and the collective of the same name that later formed were created to addressed this perceived neglect.〔Brown, Kay. “The Emergence of Black Women Artists: The 1970s, New York.” ''International Review of African American Art''.
