WMGST-231 Art & Feminism

This course examines the ways feminist ideas have challenged us to re-think art & art history, both past & present, particularly with respect to feminism’s mandate to consider race, class, sexuality, and other aspects of social location alongside the interrogation of gender. Thematic concerns include the institutions & structural conditions within which marginalized artists have worked and continue to work; the challenges of representation & self-representation that black/queer/female artists encounter; and the innovative forms of feminist art & activism that have shaped culture more broadly
