This week, a protest gathered inside the Tate Modern. A group, including feminist activists Sisters Uncut, swarmed the London gallery dressed in black to protest the displaying of artist Carl Andre, who was acquitted of killing his wife and fellow artist Ana Mendieta in 1985.
Around 60 people, almost all women, congregated in front of St Paul’s dressed in funeral garb before marching to the gallery. They chanted as they went, shouting “I was pushed, I did not fall” in reference to the Cuban artist’s death after falling 34 floors from the window of her New York apartment. Andre denies the accusation that he pushed Mendieta.
