About Andrea Bowers

For Andrea Bowers, political engagement and artistic expression are inseparable. Her practice, which includes drawings, videos and installations addresses a wide range of relevant socio-political issues from women’s and worker’s rights to the arms industry, to immigration politics and the climate crisis. Storytelling is integral to Bowers’ work and part of her activism consists of highlighting the narratives of resistance and rebellion.

Bowers has over the last 20 years gained an international reputation as an artist and social activist, with a current survey exhibition at the Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago and another upcoming at the Hammer Museum, Los Angeles in 2022. An extensive, joint monographic publication will accompany the shows. Born 1965 in Wilmington, OH, Andrea Bowers lives and works in Los Angeles, CA.
