Global Feminisms: New Directions in Contemporary Art

"Global Feminisms" is a celebration of contemporary feminist art that brings together works by over eighty women artists from around the world. Contributions by a multinational team of authors focus particular attention on socio-cultural, racial and gender identities. By offering new perspectives on feminist artistic expression since 1990, this ground-breaking book moves the discourse of feminism away from its traditional linear history and towards a global inclusiveness that acknowledges the cultural differences in women's lives and the ever-changing perceptions of feminism. "Global Feminisms" features the work of more than eighty contemporary women artists from over fifty countries, among them Catherine Opie, Miwa Yanagi, Pilar Albarracin, Shahzia Sikander and Yin Xiuzhen and includes essays offering new perspectives by internationally known contributors.
