Elizabeth Catlett: A Black Revolutionary Artist



Art for Social Justice Across Borders

Daily, Mar 09, 2025 - Jul 06, 2025. 10:00 a.m. to 05:00 p.m.

Committed to both craft and causes, this visionary artist-activist continues to inspire us today.


One of the defining artists of the 20th century, Elizabeth Catlett addressed the injustices she witnessed and experienced in America and Mexico through her bold prints and dynamic sculptures. See more than 150 of her creations in this exhibition, including rarely seen paintings and drawings.


Trace the career of this cultural force—from her roots in Washington, DC, Chicago, and New York to the remarkable body of work she made during some 60 years in Mexico. In striving to make art for the people, Catlett put social justice at the very center of her work.
