Feminisms/museums/surveys: an anthology

Abstract

"Historically, art museums and galleries have played an instrumental role in establishing the canon of art and art history. As a result, modern curators hold a significant responsibility for ensuring the diverse selection and exhibition of art by artists from underrepresented and marginalized backgrounds. Since 2005, a novel approach to feminist curating (and the curating of feminism) has emerged as an answer to the underrepresentation and/or misrepresentation of art that is about feminism and by feminists"-- Provided by publisher.
