Final answer:

The name of the Black women art collective formed in 1971 is not clearly specified in the provided options. However, the question touches upon the intersection of the feminist art movement and Black Arts Movement of the time, highlighting the significant activism and emergence of Black women in the arts during that era.

Step-by-step explanation:

The collective formed by Black women artists in 1971 that is referenced in your question is not explicitly named among the choices provided. However, around this time, there was significant activity within the feminist art movement and the Black Arts Movement. Notable groups such as Women Artists in Revolution (WAR) formed in 1969 and the Ad Hoc Women Artists' Committee (AWC) formed in 1971 were created to address the exclusion of women artists from mainstream institutions. The Combahee River Collective, a Boston-based African American feminist organization, did issue the "Black Feminist Statement" in 1977 signaling a rise in visibility and activism among Black women artists.

Within the specific context of collective galleries, A.I.R. Gallery was formed to provide visibility for art by feminist artists. Alongside this, in the late '60s, influential Black theater companies, and the arts in general, were being led and influenced by prominent Black women such as Val Gray Ward and Abena Joan Brown, particularly in Chicago.

Considering the spirit of the time and the significant contributions of these Black women, it is likely that the question may be referring to a similar collective that arose from these movements, but without one of the provided names being a clear match.
