Don’t Shut Up 2021

An overview of the exhibition curated by Susan Grabel and Stefany Benson, at the Newhouse Center for Contemporary Art on Staten Island, August 21–December 31, 2021.

In Don’t Shut Up 2021, 46 women artists respond to the silencing of women and the need to raise women’s voices as in #MeToo #NeverthelessShePersisted #DontShutUp #TimesUp. Through interruptions, censure, violence, and threatening behavior — both in person and online — women are silenced every day. It’s time to ensure that women’s voices are heard and valued. Rebecca Solnit writer, historian and activist says: “Having a voice is crucial. It’s not all there is to human rights, but it’s central to them . . . By redefining whose voice is valued, we redefine our society and its values . . .”
