Curating as Feminist Organizing, Paperback / softback Book

Curating as Feminist Organizing Paperback / softback

Edited by Elke Krasny, Lara Perry

Paperback / softback

Description

What makes curating feminist organizing? How do curators relate to contemporary feminist concerns in their local conditions and the globalized artworld?

The book brings together twenty curatorial case studies from diverse regions of the globe. Reflecting their own curatorial projects or analyzing feminist-inspired exhibitions, the authors in this book elaborate feminist curating as that which is inspired to challenge gender politics not only within but also beyond the doors of the museum and gallery.

Connecting their wider feminist politics to their curatorial practices, the book provides case studies of curatorial practice that address the legacies of racialized and ethnic violence, including colonialism; which seek to challenges the state's regulation of citizenship and sexuality; and which realize the drive for economic justice in the organizations and roles in which curators work.

The settings in which this work is done range from university art galleries to artist-run spaces and educational or activist programmes. This collection will be enjoyed by those studying and researching curating, exhibitions, socially and ecologically engaged contemporary art practices, and feminist transnational movements in diverse geographic contexts.

The essays are of relevance to practicing curators, critical cultural practitioners, and artists.
