Judy Chicago: Making Change

Judy Chicago: Making Change is a short documentary on the making of the artist’s very first retrospective exhibition, “Judy Chicago: A Retrospective”. Through the voice of friends, collaborators, and creatives operating in various industries—and the artist herself—this film highlights the depth, variety, rigor, and consistent radicality of Chicago’s artistic practice spanning 60 years. Shot in three distinct locations by an all-women production crew, the film includes footage of Judy’s home and workspace in Belen, New Mexico, and the newly installed exhibition at the de Young museum. It features interviews with author Kevin Kwan, fashion designer Maria Grazia Chiuri, art historian Jenni Sorkin, FAMSF contemporary art curator Claudia Schmuckli, lifelong friend and collaborator Diane Gelon, and Judy Chicago herself.
