Madonna and Marilyn Minter Discuss Art and Protest
At Billboard Magazine’s Women in Music event last month, Madonna lamented the defeat of Hillary Clinton. But on Thursday night at a panel discussion with the artist Marilyn Minter at the Brooklyn Museum, she offered another perspective on Donald J. Trump’s election victory: She said it had an upside, because it inspired Americans to wake up and stop taking their freedoms for granted.
“We don’t really have a choice,” she said, but to stand up and take action. “We hit the wall.”
Madonna was speaking on the eve of Mr. Trump’s inauguration before a packed auditorium of art-world luminaries, including the photographer Laurie Simmons, the dealer Jeanne Greenberg Rohatyn, Paper Magazine’s Kim Hastreiter and Thomas P. Campbell, the director of the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
