Serving as a contextual framework for the day’s events, the panel will examine both historical and contemporary approaches to addressing sexism within the contemporary art market. Drawing from varied professional perspectives, panelists will reflect on strategies that have proven effective, with the aim of identifying areas where future individual, collective, and institutional efforts will have the greatest impact. Panelists Include: Jori Finkel is an award-winning arts journalist who writes for the New York Times and The Art Newspaper with attention to gender issues. She is the author of the book It Speaks to Me and co-producer and writer of the PBS documentary Artist & Mother. @jorifinkel www.nytimes.com/by/jori-finkel#latest www.theartnewspaper.com/authors/jori-finkel (Guerrilla Girls) Kathe Kollwitz is a founding member of the Guerrilla Girls, a group formed in 1985 to do a new kind of political art that has the power to change people’s minds. @guerrillagirls http://guerrillagirls.com/ Sandra Jackson-Dumont is a curator, educator, and cultural strategist whose work reimagines the role of museums in public life.

No Unsolicited Submissions: Navigating Relationships with Curators and Gallerists
This panel is organized and moderated by Corrina Peipon (Continuous Project). Museum and gallery websites often include a discreet yet loud and clear admonishment to artists: "We do not accept or review unsolicited submissions." Despite its brevity, or perhaps because of it, this policy presents a sticky conundrum for artists and sets the tone for a lifetime of uncertainty in their relationships with curators and gallerists. While artists are responsible for introducing themselves to the professional partners they hope to collaborate with, artists are also implicitly and explicitly told that it's impolite, unprofessional, or even forbidden to approach them. And since many professional relationships in the field are time-limited by the circumstances of the engagement, artists face this dilemma throughout their careers. This panel of local curators and gallerists moderated by Corrina Peipon of Continuous Project will explore the myths and realities of meeting, working with, and maintaining relationships with curators and gallerists over time. Panelists include: Emily Butts is the director of curatorial affairs and Pitzer College Art Galleries in Claremont, CA, where she oversees exhibitions, gallery operations, and programming rooted in the college's legacy of social engagement. Her curatorial practice centers on modern and contemporary art of the Americas, with an emphasis on issues of identity, place, and representation. Adrianna Cole, Director, Hoffman Donahue, Los Angeles Joes Segal is chief curator and director of programming at the Wende Museum, where he organized close to 40 exhibitions. He has published widely on Cold War cultural history and on art and politics in the twentieth century. https://wendemuseum.org Amanda Sroka is a curator whose creative work focuses on global histories of contemporary art with a specialized interest in interdisciplinary practices that operate at the intersections of our personal, political, and material worlds. She is the Senior Curator at the Institute of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles, where she organized the current Speaking in Tongues exhibition and has curated solo presentations dedicated to the work of Samar Al Summary, Carmen Argote, Jackie Castillo, Chris Emile and No)One. Art House, Liz Hernández, Will Rawls, Christine Sun Kim, Trương Công Tùng, Sandra Vásquez de la Horra, and Alberta Whittle, and supported with Carl Cheng: Nature Never Loses (forthcoming 2026), Scientia Sexualis (2024), Barbara T. Smith: Proof (2023), and Milford Graves: Fundamental Frequency (2023). Prior to ICA LA, Sroka held curatorial positions at the Philadelphia Museum of Art and the New Museum in New York. Panel Moderator: Corrina Peipon is an artist, curator, writer, and independent consultant. She founded Continuous Project in 2018 to transform how society perceives, acknowledges, and compensates cultural labor by empowering art workers through private and group consulting; education and lateral knowledge-sharing; and thought leadership. @altereddaily https://www.continuousproject.info/
