Feminist Art

c. 1960s–present

Feminist Art emerged alongside second-wave feminism in the late twentieth century. Artists examined the politics of the body, identity, labor, and domestic space. The movement expanded acceptable artistic media, including performance, video, and installation. It significantly influenced contemporary art institutions and discourse.
