Getty's 'Radical Women' podcast is no-BS feminism straight from icons like Yoko Ono, Alice Neel, and Lee Krasner themselves.
, a new podcast by Getty that features archival recordings of six women artists. And I'm absolutely obsessed.patriarchy
, but this is sort of what happened whenever I hit play. Using archival audio from the Getty Research Institute, the first season, aptly titled “Radical Women,” does more than just walk us through the lives of artists we already know and love, rattling off facts from their Wikipedia pages; it hands them the mic. The interviews tackle issues that feel familiar, mostly because we're still tackling them today.
It probably goes without saying: the Getty is not your average feel-good content machine. And these episodes aren’t simply recycling material sans context in order to sell popular liberal ideologies to a new generation of women. A more appropriate description would be a much shorter, unembellished one: No bullshit feminism, straight from the icons themselves.
Each episode gets straight to the point, diving head first into the particulars of each artists’ ideology, no matter how prickly. Yoko Ono, in particular, does not waste time mincing words. She’s gentle, yet firm, in her convictions — which should come as no surprise, after she spent her entire marriage fighting for recognition as an artist, while Lennon’s fame overshadowed everything in its wake.
These women are similar in their disdain for being siloed as “female artists,” and I think we can learn something from their frustration with boxes . Would Alice Neel balk at a feminist T-shirt? Probably. Does that mean I should too? Perhaps. I don’t think this podcast is aiming to prescribe a new — or even worse, “better” — way to be a feminist, but I do believe that these women have something important to say on the note of what we hear — and what we record — when women speak.
