Andrea Bowers

Tackling issues like immigration rights, workers’ rights, climate justice and women’s rights, the work of Los Angeles artist Andrea Bowers is nearly always imbued with a message. Her latest exhibition at the Hammer Museum (which debuted in Chicago) assembles a collection of work that documents decades of activism, including a Radical Feminist Pirate Ship Tree-Sitting Platform and a video piece that features Indigenous rights activists fighting against the Dakota Access Pipeline project.
