Nina Yankowitz
Nina Yankowitz is an American visual artist known for her work in new media technology, site specific public works, and installation art. She is a National Endowment for the Arts fellow, and a Pollock-Krasner Foundation Award recipient.
She was a founding member of the Heresies Collective with her friends Joyce Kozloff, Miriam Schapiro, and others. For two decades (1976-1995) the collective published Heresies: A Feminist Publication on Art and Politics. Each issue addressed a topic of importance to the development of diversity and inclusion in the visual art world such as race and ethnicity, lesbian art and artists, women’s traditional crafts, violence against women, and art from non-Western countries.
