Women Artists, Feminism and the Moving Image Contexts and Practices

Recent decades have seen the art gallery become an increasingly important exhibition space for the moving image. This book sees leading scholars bring contemporary perspectives to the contexts, practices, and concerns of women artists working with film and video, addressing both the historical realm of the avant-garde as well as feminist art practices today. Its chronological breadth is matched by its wide international scope, branching out from white and Western perspectives to look at artists from Middle Eastern, East Asian, and African American backgrounds and from a variety of cultural and technological environments. In doing so, the book explores a worldwide renewal of feminist articulacy that provides new challenges and opportunities for women artists working with the moving image.
