The aim of the course is to offer a cross-section of key feminist texts with reference to and in dialogue with artistic production and the development of the visual arts. The course aims to introduce students to the critical themes addressed by the feminist movement of the 20th and 21st centuries to the present day. The course is based on the reading and discussion of texts, which will be supplemented in class with examples from 20th and 21st century art and curating.
