Feminisms/Museums/Surveys

Providing a comprehensive view of feminist curatorial approaches in the modern era, Feminisms/Museums/Surveys: An Anthology offers deep insights into how curators from around the world select and exhibit art in response to feminist politics. This unique volume brings together previously published articles and excerpts from catalogs for museums' survey exhibitions of feminist art, offering a transnational perspective on contemporary approaches to feminist curating.

Chronologically organized articles and essays - most reprinted for the first time since their initial publications and some for the first time in English - represent the diversity of feminist thinking and curatorial approaches in the modern art world. Each work includes the dates and venues of the exhibition, the artists exhibited, and a brief introduction. Throughout the book, the editors highlight how curators have attempted to bring feminist theory into traditional methods of exhibition design, how feminist ideas spread through the community of museum professionals, how curators have centered art by artists from underrepresented and marginalized backgrounds, and more.

Making works on feminist curating easily accessible to a wide audience of scholars and students, Feminisms/Museums/Surveys: An Anthology is a must-have resource for courses in feminism and art, curation, LGBTQ+ art, museum studies, art history, feminist and gender studies, and cultural studies.
