Description: |
As the first convening of TFAP@CAA conceived during the Trump administration, this symposium will address urgent, intertwined threats to feminism and radical artistic practice under a political regime antagonistic to both. Following Martha Rosler's astute analysis that "[a] critique of ideology necessitates some materialistic grounding if it is to rise above the theological," the symposium will be rooted in the material conditions of feminist practices that resist patriarchal ideologies, especially on the level of state-sanctioned control and oppression. The symposium will also open space for the discussion of practices of art and art history that shed light on historical precedents and paths for feminist resistance, with a special focus on methodologies pressing at the limits of art history. Finally, the symposium will act as a tactical platform, where feminists whose practices may not wit within conventional definitions of art are invited to share their skills and strategies.
