From Renaissance painters to contemporary hip hop and performance artists, women represent their particular journeys as singular personalities and as members of various groups. Whoever they are and from wherever they hail, their artistic expression expands our global understanding of women’s history. Additionally, The women’s history conference at its core is about women’s activism. Throughout time, women have used their artistic expression as a method of activism. This year we will explore the ways in which women have used their art as means of liberation.
Specific topics may include:
Women in the Black Arts Movement
Women’s Social Protest Expressed Through the Arts
Arts and Race
Women, Art and Sexuality
