Celebrating Black Women Artists
The Huffington Post published an article highlighting the work and achievements of historically "overlooked" black female artists, which included work by Maren Hassinger '69.
As part of Black History Month, the HuffPost focused on "black women artists whose contributions to the history of art have been...overlooked or undervalued."
They write of Hassinger: "In her work, [she] combines elements of sculpture, performance, video and dance to investigate the relationship between the natural and industrial worlds. Her commonly used materials include wire, rope, garbage, leaves, cardboard boxes and old newspapers, often arranged to encourage movement, as if the sculptures themselves are engaged in a dance."
