The Feminist Art Program (1970-1975): Cycles of Collectivity
The Feminist Art Program (1970-1975): Cycles of Collectivity
”A new exhibition that reflects on the pioneering and influential Feminist Art Program, initially launched at Fresno State College and continued at CalArts. The exhibition brings together archival material from the program with artworks by participating artists, including new commissions by CalArts alums. The Feminist Art Program (1970-1975) functions as an active center of pedagogical engagement, conversation, and critique that contains diverse Feminisms, gender theories, and transfeminismos. The exhibition is organized around two related components. An archival section is gathered from institutional and personal material that documents Feminist Art Program histories, including artworks by students made for course assignments and thesis exhibitions. A second section brings together new cycles rethinking feminist archives, histories, and pedagogies, through new commissioned artworks by CalArts alumni.”
