Lorraine O’Grady, RIP
Her Wikipedia page.
In the early 1980s, O'Grady created the persona of Mlle Bourgeoise Noire, who invaded art openings wearing a gown and a cape made of 180 pairs of white gloves,[10] first giving away flowers, then beating herself with a white studded whip, which she often referred to as, "the whip-that-made-the-plantations-move".[10] Whilst doing this she would often shout in protest poems that railed against a segregated art world that excluded black individuals from the world of mainstream art, and which she perceived as not looking beyond a small circle of friends. Her first performance as Mlle Bourgeoise Noire was in 1980 at the Linda Goode Bryant's Just Above Midtown gallery in Tribeca.[11]

Time To Tell
Far Out magazine describes Cosey Fanni Tutti's 1983 album Time to Tell as "a groundbreaking sonic journey of the sex industry from the female worker’s point of view." From Far Out magazine:Time to Tell was the resulting product, a groundbreaking sonic journey of the sex industry from the female worker’s point of view. Using only the medium of sound, it manages to execute the feat of taking the listener through the emotional processes of a seemingly shameful act and makes them less untoward and more accessible. The record begins in a way you might imagine – foreboding and full of trepidation, as if at the entrance to a dark jungle underworld. But as the music progresses, we realise that the truth of the matter is actually very different.
Hmm. Just sounds like ambient music to me. Though maybe my interpretive antennae aren't fully attuned to the nuances of the music. Or maybe there was more to the album?
