Feminism is a word some dare not say, and others argue has no place in Art. Yet Feminist Art exists. So what is it? How is it defined? This day will explore the history of feminist art from the late 1960s to the present. It will examine the historical absence of women artists and introduce new and radical forms of theoretical inquiry exploring key terms and definitions. The session will include looking at work on display, teaching and discussion. It will introduce an international canon of women artists from Gwen John to Louise Bourgeois to Tracey Emin and address the phenomenal impact Feminist Art has had on contemporary practice. This day  will ultimately ask how it is possible to view work which addresses personal, political, social and cultural issues?
