Michela Griffo is an artist and activist who came of age on the piers and streets of New York City in the 1950s and ‘60s. She was an early member of the Redstockings and a founding member of Radicalesbians, Lavender Menace and the Gay Liberation Front. She was active in the Civil Rights, Women’s Rights and Gay Rights Movements, working closely with activists such as Yoruba Guzman and radical organizations such as The Young Lords. She risked her life with other queer and lesbian activists on the front lines to pave the way for younger generations to come out and live safe and productive lives. Griffo’s visual art practice is centered on exposing societal injustices and fictional narratives, exploring themes such as the queer and lesbian woman’s experience, as well as childhood trauma and addiction. Her work often uses primary colors to depict familiar scenes but has also utilized expertly composed muted colors and soft shadows mixed with pencil drawings in order to critique issues of class, sexism, racism and divisive rhetoric that are often not rooted in the reality of our shared experience.
