Women's History Month Art Exhibit

March 2, 2019

Event Description:
Feminist art is one of the most relevant political art forms of our time. Feminist artists radically challenge social, cultural and political norms as they relate to women and, in particular, intersectional issues that affect all women. Feminist art subjects include, but are not limited to:

first-, second-, third-, fourth-, and fifth-wave feminism
the female body as a political tool
the objectification of the female form
the “Western Lens” in feminist art
sexism, misogyny and the “male gaze”
global feminism
feminism and race
life/work balance
reproductive justice & rights
Post-Feminism vs. Contemporary Feminism
foundational feminist theories
radicalization of female artists
breaking social taboos
the interdependence of women
underrepresentation of women artists in museums & galleries
trans-women, queer women, lesbians, and non-binary gender identity
