Mary Walling Blackburn (born California) is an artist, writer, and feminist who works and lives between New York, where she is an artist and director of the Anhoek School and its sister radio station WMYN,[2] and Dallas where she teaches art at Southern Methodist University.[3] She is also described as "“a singer, a tutor, a choreographer, a documentary filmmaker, a tourist, a critic and a translator” with a strong but politically uncategorizable activist streak."[4]

Anhoek School

Blackburn created the Anhoek School as an educational experiment, an alternative to the GRE system. It is an all-women's graduate school that bases its curriculum on cultural production. Tuition is based on a barter system where student labor is exchanged for classes.[5] Its name is a "purposeful malappropriation" of the name Ann Hutchinson, a midwife in the Massachusetts Bay Colony expelled on charges of heresy, witchcraft and political anarchy.[6]
