Archive / 2007

Project overview

Based at California Institute of the Arts, the project brought together students from across the institute’s schools. It encompassed projects and workshops, a curated exhibition, a feminist performance series, a film series, a visiting artist lecture series, and a day-long symposium.

The project acknowledged the history of feminist art at CalArts while asking how feminist critique might be revitalized for a new generation of students and artists.

“Activating and interrogating contemporary Feminist practice through collaboration, connection and exchange.”
