While feminist art does not function as a unified art movement in the modern art world, its principles and goals can still be seen.

Feminist works have affected artists such as Tracey Emin and Sarah Lucas. In Emin's well-known work My Bed, we see underwear smeared with menstrual blood, a motif that appears in a number of feminist works. Paula Rego's 1998 Abortion series is centered on topics related to women's health and reproductive rights, which are also depicted in numerous feminist pieces.While feminist art does not function as a unified art movement in the modern art world, its principles and goals can still be seen.

Individualism in art continues to muddy the Feminist message in the twenty-first century. Despite this, progress toward greater gender equality is being made in both North America and globally. Several significant exhibits of works by female artists have aided this, notably "WACK! Art and the Feminist Revolution" in 2007, which featured over 120 artists from the United States and worldwide. Shortly before this, in 2006, Rutgers University in New Jersey launched The Feminist Art Project, a website and information resource for artists and scholars.

Multi-Disciplinary Art Movement
Feminist art (Feminist Art Movement) frequently blended elements from numerous movements such as Conceptual art, Body art, and Video art into works that delivered a message about the experience of women and the need for gender equality.

Performance Art
During the 1970s and until now(21st century), performance art and the feminist Art movement well interact with each other, as the aspect of 'performance' is an effective way for women artists to communicate a physical and visceral message The interaction of art with the viewer throughout performance art has significant impact emotionally. Moreover, as the artists and works are combined into one art and there is no separation, Performance art, and Feminist Art is also a nice element to evaluate the artists' actual experiences.

For example, Regina José Galindo, a Guatemalan performance artist who specialises in body art. Galindo's female body works focus on two major representations: First, the representation of the "excessive, carnivalized, grotesque and abject female body"; Second, on the "female body that has been subjected to violence at a private and public level". Galindo use body to explore "female sexuality, notions of feminine beauty, race or domestic and national violence".

Also, for another example, there is Karen Finley, a female performer who performing nude, by shocking her audiences with violent and sexual abusing stories. Within Finley's performance, she used to stand at the point as "victims of rape, child abuse, AIDS, domestic violence and racism". Finely is using her body and the nudity from her body performance to "speaking for other women who are unable to speak for themselves...". Finely's body as a medium to present as a "site of oppression". Though, the critique towards Finely's nudity performances as "pornographic", Finely believes that a woman body can become a representative for all the bodies of all women who had/have/will be suffered from those oppression.

Body Art
Body art can be Tattoos, body piercing, branding, scarification, dermal anchors and three-dimensional art or body modifications such as beading.IBody art can be a example in Performance Art and they can overlapped in Feminist Art. For example, there is the Nil Yalter's film called 'The Headless Woman (Belly Dance)'. It focus on a woman’s stomach on which text has been inscribed. And the woman is keep writing the text on the belly(Body Art). And ss the woman begins her belly dance, all we see is the soft flesh of her undulating stomach, and the pulsing text.

Video Art
Starting in the Late 1960s, Video art appeared in the art world as a unique art form using video technology as a visual and sound medium. And unlike classic and traditional arts like painting and sculpture, video art was not only dominated by men in history. With the aid of new technology, female artists were able to tell their own stories and share their perspectives, resulting in new works about women that would serve as a repository for the feminist history of contemporary art. The video was seen as a trigger for a media revolution that could put the means of television transmission in the hands of the general population, giving the feminist art movement a huge opportunity to expand its audience. There were female artists who demonstrated feminism through video art such as Pipilotti Rist, Shirin Neshat, Martha Rosler, Chantal Akerman, Joan Jonas, Sadie Benning, and more.

1980s

The feminist art movement in the 1980s and 1990s built upon the foundations laid by earlier feminist art movements of the 1960s and 1970s. Feminist artists throughout this time period aimed to question and undermine established gender roles, confront issues of gender injustice, and give voice to women's experiences in the arts and society at large. A wide range of artistic disciplines, such as painting, sculpture, performance art, photography, video art, and installations, were included in the movement.

The portrayal of women in art was one of the main issues feminist artists in the 1980s and 1990s focused on. They challenged and subverted standard representations of women as passive objects or muses while criticizing the male-dominated art canon. Many feminist artists investigated topics of sexuality, identity, and the social construction of gender while reclaiming the female body as a source of power. Moreover, The 1980s and 1990s feminist art movement placed a strong emphasis on the examination of both individual and group experiences. Photographic and collage techniques were used by artists like Cindy Sherman and Barbara Kruger to explore themes of identity, self-representation, and the formation of gender roles in popular culture. They questioned the idea of a rigid and fundamental feminine identity and emphasized how gender is performative.

Institutional critique emerged as a prominent component of the feminist art movement in the 1980s and 1990s. Along with producing their own works, feminist artists also looked at and opposed the patriarchal structures and restrictive practices that prevail in art institutions. They sought to remove the obstacles that prevented women from participating fully and being taken seriously in the art industry. Here are a some examples of how artists of this time engaged in institutional criticism: Guerrilla Girls which was a collective of anonymous feminist artists, emerged in the 1980s. ,The Museum of Modern Art Protest in 1984 which the protesters criticized MoMA for its exclusionary practices and demanded more representation for women and artists of color, and The "Bad Girls" Exhibition in 1994, which was aiming to upend the currently male-dominated art world and make room for the perspectives and experiences of female artists.

These illustrations show how feminist artists participated in institutional critique by contesting the discriminatory attitudes and practices that exist in art institutions. They planned demonstrations, interventions, and shows to challenge the current quo, demand more representation for female artists, and draw attention to racial and gender disparities in the art world. Feminist artists made a contribution to the continuous evolution of the art world by promoting inclusivity and providing opportunities for upcoming generations of female artists.

2000s
Much feminist art and debate nowadays uses a "intersectional" perspective. In 1989, legal scholar and feminist Kimberlé Williams Crenshaw proposed the concept of intersectionality as a way to acknowledge that aspects of identity, such as gender, race, and sexuality, could not be examined in isolation from one another, but rather as intersecting aspects of one's being that overlap and often compound the power disparities that one experiences. Though the phrase and theory of "intersectionality" only debuted a few decades ago, we can see that proto-feminist and Feminist artists have been embracing this approach to identification in their art production for much longer. For example, Frida Kahlo's representation of her gender identity is intimately woven together with her experiences of disability, race, and cultural heritage, and South African artist Helen Sebidi's art grapples with her identification as a woman of color, not just a woman.

The portrayal of the female body and sexuality remains politically fraught, expressing the struggle between personal and public identity. In their works, today's female artists, such as Kara Walker and Jennifer Linton, continue to address sexism and equality. The subject recurs in works as diverse as Mary Schelpsi's Beauty Interrupted, 2001, which depicts a model walking down a runway covered in a blur of the artist's white brush strokes that obscure both her eyes and her rail thin ideal, and Mickalene Thomas' paintings, which reframe the identity of African American women while deconstructing historical beauty memes. Whereas the Feminist Art movement opened doors for these very important dialogues, female artists continue to pinpoint the exhaustive and never-ending presence of its issues.

Feminist Art Movement and Media
One of the things that gives people the most entertainment in the modern era as the times progressed is the works of art from the media. For example, things like 'music', 'drama', 'movie', and 'game'. The development in music is particularly notable. In terms of Hip-Hop music, many hip-hop songs promote the art of feminism. Taking South Korea as an example, many female hip-hop singers will openly produce hip-hop songs about feminism to speak out for some unequal gender issues in society. For example, the Korean female rapper BIBI released a song called "Animal Farm" this year, which expresses women's resistance to gender discrimination against women in a patriarchal society and the issue of male coagulation by borrowing the classic footage from "Kill Bill".
