Cara Perlman was born 1950, New York, NY. Perlman has worked as a painter, sculptor and film and video maker.

Education
Perlman attended Rhode Island School of Design, graduating in 1973.

Artwork
Among her early work, the short Super 8 film, "Topless," is a collaboration between Perlman and her roommate Jane Sherry, who plays the role of a dancer and sex worker. As a fictional recreation, the film addresses the economic decisions made by women who chose sex work over other forms of labor. Perlman was one of a collection of artists participating in the Times Square Show in 1980. Like others in the show who focused on the "problem plagued neighborhood" of Times Square before its family friendly make-over, Perlman draws back the curtain on the many sex clubs and peep shows that dotted the area at the time.

Perlman's other works include:
