The Cross Art Projects
18 October to 16 November 2019
The Womanifesto Archive traces the multifarious activities of a biennial event, organised by women artists, that began in Bangkok in the mid-nineties. It was part of a wave of installation and performance-based artist-initiated projects—including Asiatopia and Chiang Mai Social Installation—that ushered Thailand, and Southeast Asia more broadly, into a newly globalised contemporary art scene.
Curating Feminism, exhibition at Sydney College of the Arts Gallery, 2014
Dr Maura Reilly: Curatorial Activism: Towards an Ethics of Curating:
Dr Reilly speaks on curatorial activism, a term she has coined to describe the practice of organising art exhibitions with the principal aim of ensuring that large constituencies of people are no longer ghettoised or excluded from the master narratives of art. Dr Reilly examines current art world statistics with a careful eye toward sex-race ratios and posits several strategies that might be employed by activists to address these disparities. Her lecture included a conversation with Linda Nochlin where the two analyse developments in curating feminism since Nochlin’s famous 1971 call to arms.
