Art+ Activism #22: Feminist Art Activism and Artivism
with Katy Deepwell

Sunday, April 26, from 10:30 am to Noon PT
on Zoom

In this talk, Katy Deepwell will explore key ideas in feminist art activisms around ecofeminisms, based on her publications to date. She will contrast political definitions of activisms with approaches to artivisms, where art practices take priority over protest. This distinction matters in thinking about different feminist strategies which artists use and how their diverse approaches to art-making convey political dissent, speak about issues or determine their approach to exhibiting.
