Artivism today seems to have become a catchword for any woman’s empowerment through the arts. This volume wants to critically dissect this catchword, unveiling the diversity of practices and realities that it comprises. Representing a range of critical insights, perspectives, and practices from artists, activists, and academics, this book explores and reflects on the role of feminist interventions in the field of contemporary art, the public sphere, and politics. It demonstrates the enormous variety of ways in which art and activism can intervene in social processes and vice versa. Doing so, Feminist Art Activisms and Artivisms touch upon broader questions of cultural difference, history, class, economic position, ecological questions, sexual orientation, and the ways in which these intersect.
