#MELNYC The Great Divide: feminist art practice across generations and geography

August 11, 2018 @ 10:00 am - 1:00 pm

Description

The Women’s Art Register (Melbourne) and (RE)Present (New York) connect in an Intergenerational dialogue and a collaborative feminist zine. A live, interactive session will address the need to communicate more broadly with each other about our different ages and experience as feminists and artists. Although we share aspects of a common feminist history, we want to explore the ways our distance (both generationally and geographically) inflects our culture, our politics and our art-making. Join Vanessa Godden, Tassia Joannides, Juliette Peers and Caroline Phillips from the Women’s Art Register (MEL), in conversation with Nancy Azara, Emily Harris and Rachel Steinberg from (RE)Present (NYC). This program is part of MEL&NYC, supported by the Victorian Government.

Organiser of The Great Divide: feminist art practice across generations and geography

The Women’s Art Register is Australia’s living archive of women’s art practice (non-binary and trans inclusive) and a National, Artist-Run and Not-for-Profit community and resource.

Assessed as a ‘Collection of National Significance’ through the Heritage Collections Council in 2009, this unique archive houses the images, catalogues, posters and ephemera of over 5000 Australian and International artists.

Since 1975 the Women’s Art Register has provided an inclusive, independent platform for research, education, advocacy and support for its members and the Arts and Education sectors, enhancing the status of women artists and addressing issues of equity, professional practice and cultural heritage.

 

Supported by the City of Yarra.
