This May, Queensland artist Jessica Nothdurft is marking Domestic and Family Violence Prevention Month with a sensitivity and preciousness that reflects the initiative’s three and a half decades of awareness building and advocacy.
While Mendieta did not specifically explore domestic or family violence in her practice, speculation has long surrounded her untimely death in 1985 at the age of 36, after a dispute with her partner and fellow artist, Carl Andre.
