Art Archives - Do You Know Her?

Katherine Dunham

When you have faith in something, it’s your reason to be alive and to fight for it

I don’t separate architecture, design, or culture. What’s more important is a language of creativity that carries meaning

Old ideas die hard. We’ve had thousands of years of women having almost no rights

My youth, my experience, my sex, all conspired against me

Mama exhorted her children at every opportunity to ‘jump at the sun.’ We might not land on the sun, but at least we would get off the ground

There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside you

When you stop having dreams and ideals – well, you might as well stop altogether

The freer that women become, the freer men will be. Because when you enslave someone, you are enslaved

Who ever walked behind anyone to freedom? If we can’t go hand in hand, I don’t want to go

Dance from your heart and love your music, and the audience will love you in return

I’m a feminist, because I see all women as smart, gifted and tough

What I’m aiming for are moments of strong sensation ⎯ moments of total physical experience of the landscape

Documentaries are vessels for empathy
