The #WarholFoundation funded exhibition "Nancy Elizabeth Prophet: I Will Not Bend an Inch" organized by RISD Museum and on view at the Brooklyn Museum is the⁠ first major museum presentation to celebrate the work and legacy of Nancy Elizabeth Prophet (1890-1960), an underrecognized 20th-century sculptor best known for her contributions to expatriate culture in Paris during the interwar period. Prophet was one of the first known women of color to graduate from the RISD and her work reflects skills developed through academic training with a distinctly Modernist sensibility.⁠ ⁠ The Foundation supports this exhibition for highlighting the work of an artist whose practice has been overlooked for the last seventy-five years and for viewing it now with greater appreciation for the context and conditions in which it was created.⁠ .⁠ 1.

“Vaginal Davis: Fabelhaftes Produkt (Magnificent Product)”, the #WarholFoundation funded exhibition, is now on view at Gropius Bau in Berlin. The exhibition, organised by Moderna Museet, Stockholm, features painting, film, and writing, highlighting the expansive practice of musician, performer, and visionary Vaginal Davis. Davis’s oeuvre is where queer activism meets racial justice, where resistance meets joy, where punk meets the parlor room, and where Audre Lorde meets G.B Jones. From her hometown of Los Angles to her adopted home of Berlin, Davis has made scenes for a living as a leading lady in punk, queer, and Black histories extending beyond solely the United States. This exhibition adopts a unique curatorial model that embraces Ms. Davis’s approach to art as a practice that holds no center but rather emerges from a connected community of people and spaces as well as plurality of form and media.⁠ ⁠ The Foundation supports this exhibition for its innovative, decentralized curatorial model that compliments the synergistic practice of the genre-defying multi-disciplinary artist.⁠ .⁠ 1.
