Home Address: Suffrage is a multi-platform initiative that began in the summer of 2020 organized by Dr. John A. Tyson of the University of Massachusetts Boston. For the project, del Rivero created 19 flags inspired by dishtowel designs to commemorate the centennial of the Nineteenth Amendment, which legislated women’s right to vote in the United States. Her multiples, emblazoned with a common abstract, geometric pattern, will be hosted by distinct institutions across the nation. The artist will dedicate each suffrage banner to a figure relevant to the sites where they hang or fly—in many cases, notable women of color for whom the vote was not actually available. The works aim to critically address local and national histories even as they unite all of the collaborating institutions in a constellation of American democracy.
