Description

Publicatie naar aanleiding van de gelijknamige conferentie Middlesex University 02-07-2018. Artivisme lijkt tegenwoordig een modewoord te zijn geworden voor de empowerment van vrouwen door middel van activistische kunst. Dit boek wil de diversiteit aan praktijken en realiteiten onder de paraplu van kunstactivisme en activisme in de kunsten in zijn breedte tonen. De verzameling bijdragen van kunstenaars, journalisten en onderzoekers vertegenwoordigt een reeks kritische inzichten, perspectieven en praktijken en verkent en reflecteert op de rol van feministische interventies op het gebied van hedendaagse kunst, de publieke sfeer en de politiek. - 'Feminisms’ (as a plural) is widely used today to draw attention to inequalities and to critique the status quo in limiting women’s roles/ positions/ lives/ potential. Art can offer a vision of future worlds, manifesting a desire for projecting change, playing with existing realities and conventions. Feminist Art Artivism and Activism, two sides of the same coin, arise where art approaches, develops or transforms into activism and vice versa, where activisms become artivisms. In both, art emerges in differing forms of political intervention, at both an individual, shared or collective level, apparent in actions, events, identifications and practices. This volume wants to reveal the diversity of these practices and realities. Representing a range of critical insights, perspectives and practices from artists, activists, curators, academics and writers, it explores and reflects on the enormous variety of feminist interventions in the field of contemporary art, social processes, the public sphere and politics. In doing so, Feminist Art Activisms and Artivisms touches upon broader questions of cultural difference, history, class, economic position, ecology, politics, sexual orientation, and the ways in which these intersect.
