We dig up some unreleased fragments
<
https://rwm.macba.cat/en/extra/sonia-308-susan-bee-deleted-scenes> of our
conversation with Susan Bee that we were unable to include the first time
around. Susan Bee was born in New York, where she has always lived and
worked. As an art student in the late sixties, she first came in contact
with feminist activism and other social movements such as black power, gay
rights, and protests against the Vietnam War. In 1986, she embarked on the
project M/E/A/N/I/N/G, a self-managed art magazine that she co-edited with
fellow artist Mira Schor for thirty years. From the strict black and white
pages of M/E/A/N/I/N/G, a plurality of voices of artists, poets, thinkers,
and writers have discussed and reflected on art and feminism, art and
racism, art and maternity, and art and activism, and on censorship,
sexuality, poetry, aesthetics, and visual culture.
