Harmony Hammond by Judith Cooper, 2010<\/em><\/p>\n

“I helped found the feminist art movement in New York in the early 1970s, contributing to and benefiting from the incredible energy that existed at that time. There was a sense of excitement, of making something happen, of creating change. Since then, I have continued making work, writing, teaching, lecturing and contributing to various feminist, lesbian and queer art projects over the years.” – Harmony Hammond, March 2011<\/p>\n
