Feminism and Museums
Join us in-conversation with Dr Jenna C. Ashton, discussing the content and motivations behind her two-volume edited collection "Feminism and Museums: Intervention, Disruption and Change" (MuseumsEtc, 2017&18), in the context of national centenary celebrations around women's suffrage.
In two volumes (each 600+ pages), Feminism and Museums explores how museums are responding to the wider socio-political challenges faced by women and girls globally, in which they too play a part.
In over 50 chapters, creative resistance by both high-profile galleries and grassroots activist collectives is presented, and issues of colour, disability, domestic abuse, indigenous rights, labour, land use, migration, pornography, rape, refugees, sexuality, sex-work, technology and work examined.
Feminism and Museums creates a space of creativity, conversation and confidence, of dialogue and new knowledge, building on the ambitious practice and perseverance of museum workers worldwide, and bringing together new voices, contexts and methodologies to both inform and inspire.
