description: "She entered the 1960s downtown art scene as an avant-garde conceptualist, then married a Beatle and became one of the most polarizing figures in popular culture — blamed for a breakup she didn't cause, dismissed for work that predated the relationship, and only decades later recognized as the dance-chart architect and performance pioneer she'd been all along"

# bio (long form, separated for readability)
bio: |
  Born in Tokyo in 1933, Ono moved to New York in 1952 and joined the city's experimental art circles in the early 1960s, including the Fluxus movement. In 1969 she married John Lennon and the two formed the Plastic Ono Band, staging a bed-in honeymoon protest against the Vietnam War and recording together throughout the 1970s. Their collaboration Double Fantasy topped the charts and won the Grammy for Album of the Year in 1980, released three weeks before Lennon was shot outside their Dakota apartment building on December 8. She continued alone, eventually placing twelve singles at number one on the US Dance charts and earning recognition from Billboard in 2016 as the 11th most successful dance club artist of all time. As Lennon's widow she funded memorials including Strawberry Fields in Central Park and the Imagine Peace Tower in Iceland, inaugurated the biennial LennonOno Grant for Peace in 2002, and co-founded Artists Against Fracking a decade later.
