I have chosen Feminist Art in the US mainly due to my background in art. My plan for the article is to research more current works and artists and incorporate them into the article. I also want to try and add some images of a few of pieces. An article about art, which is usually a visual medium, is easier to explain when the viewer can see the piece for themselves, rather than solely relying on the writer to paint a mental image for them.

Quick notes and research

2010's art movements:

- Guerrilla Girls

The Guerrilla Girls are a large international group of anonymous feminist activists. In order to stay anonymous, the group wears gorilla masks. A lot of this group's attention is placed on political events and decisions. /https://www.guerrillagirls.com/our-story/

-Women’s Invitational Exhibition 2017

The Women's Invitational Exhibition is an art exhibit that features the works from minority women artists. The entire gallery showcases only a select few artists. However, each individual woman shows multitude of different topics via a variety of mediums./https://islamicartrevival.com/?page_id=1777 /

"Overall, this looks really good! I made a couple of changes, just to make it flow better. Love the content and the research you conducted in order to find it!" -DH

-The Future is Female

This art exhibit located within the 21C Museum and Hotel in Louisville, Kentucky opened it's doors just following our most recent presidential election and features feminist art works that operate to epitomize the experience of womanhood simultaneously addressing larger global issues. The exhibit highlights the artwork of handful of feminist artists including Vibha Galhotra, Alison Saar, Carrie Mae Weems, Michele Pred, Frances Goodman, Kiki Smith, and Sanell Aggenbach who emerged in the wake of the second wave Feminist Arts Movement. "At a politically fraught moment such as this, wherein women’s rights feel consistently imperiled, The Future Is Female serves as a reminder of the current state of feminism, while offering us a vision of a future that could still be."

Feminist Art Movement in 2018

#metoo movement represented in Feminist Art Movement
Carnigie Melon art galleries director Elizabeth Chodos and assistant director Margaret Cox put up a gallery for Faith Wilding’s artwork, who was a prominent artist who studied art in the 70’s when issues like rape and sexual abuse were too taboo to discuss. She learned to be open with her artwork focusing on female bodies working alongside other female art students. She did however, criticize the fact that most art teachers were male. The ideas explored in her work offered influence for key elements of the #metoo movement but also recognizes that we still have a long way to go in terms of equality and respect. Wilding’s artwork addressed social issues relating to sexual assault that are just now beginning to emerge culturally through #metoo.
