Adia Millett is guest speaker for the conversation and book-signing event "Women, Connection, and Legacy: Art History through the Eileen Harris Norton Collection", organized by the Los Angeles County Museum of Art.
Time and date: 7 - 8:30 PM local time, 25 September 2025
Location: Smidt Welcome Plaza, Los Angeles County Museum of Art
At this conversation about art, identity, and legacy, collector Eileen Harris Norton, artist Adia Millett, and writer-curator Taylor Renee Aldridge will discuss how collecting supports women artists of color and how personal vision can influence culture and community.
"All These Liberations: Women Artists in the Eileen Harris Norton Collection" celebrates the work of women artists of color and the visionary collector who helped bring their art to light. Edited by Taylor Renee Aldridge, the book brings together essays by scholars and voices from across the art world to explore the deep connections between artists, Los Angeles–born patron Eileen Harris Norton, and the communities that shape and surround them.
Featuring work by Sonia Boyce, Maya Lin, Julie Mehretu, Shirin Neshat, Adrian Piper, Faith Ringgold, Kara Walker, Carrie Mae Weems, Adia Millett, and many others, the book traces shared themes of memory, resilience, and resistance across painting, photography, sculpture, and installation. For nearly five decades, Harris Norton has helped shape the art world by supporting artists and curators of color.
With essays by leading curators and scholars, "All These Liberations" is a testament to the power of art, care, and creative community to imagine new possibilities.
