The aim of the course is to provide an overview of key feminist texts with reference to artistic creation and the development of visual art and in dialogue with them. The course aims to familiarize students with critical issues addressed by the feminist movement from the 20th and 21st centuries to the present. The course is based on reading and discussing texts, which will be supplemented in class with examples from 20th and 21st century art and curatorship. The course will introduce feminist themes such as: the male gaze, wages for domestic work, the visibility of female artists in art history, feminist curating, art studios, intersectional feminism, witch-hunt, glitch feminism, cyberfeminism, and feminist killjoy. How does contemporary art respond to these political programs and how does it offer alternative or emancipatory narratives?
