Suzanne Wright

Suzanne Wright (born 1968) is an American performer and founding member of the art cumulative Fierce Pussy. She has worked in a variety of media, including collage, colored pencil drawings, painting, and sculpture. She describes her subject event as "future feminism".

Suzanne Wright was born in 1968 in New London, Connecticut. She earned her BFA in sculpture from Cooper Union in 1990. During her time at Cooper Union, Wright became enthusiastic with the activist bureau ACT UP (AIDS Coalition to Unleash Power) and the affinity work Diva TV, a lesbian video campaigner collective responsible for documenting many ACT UP demonstrations and activities. In 1991, she allied with further lesbians on the go in ACT UP to found Fierce Pussy, an art gather together addressing issues of lesbian identity. Wright's art since then has continued to scrutinize queer and feminist themes, and she says that her "work always contained the residue of my time later Act-Up". Her artwork has been featured in numerous bureau shows, including the queer and feminist shows Ridykeulous (2006) and The Whitney Houston Biennial: I'm Every Woman (2014), and her drawings have been featured in the film High Art (1998) and the television show The L Word. She has taught art as an adjunct at University of California, Los Angeles, and Chapman University.
