Course Description
The Feminist Art Field School is a hybrid course (distance and on campus sessions) geared towards students interested in gender, feminism and the porous boundaries between art, activist, and academic practice. Through an ongoing series of discussions and collaborations with artists, curators, scholars, and critical museum practitioners, the Field School aims to (a) bolster understandings of the theoretical and practical roles that art institutions have played – historically and contemporaneously – in providing space for colonial and patriarchal oppressions and inequities to play out; (b) implement arts-based pedagogies for exploring academic research and artistic practice with students and collaborators; and (c) host a series of conversation-driven-lectures that invite featured guests to engage questions of feminism, power, gender, sex, decolonization, anti-racism, and creative institutional critique. This course is partially asynchronous and encourages students to think outside the bounds of common academic practice, toward more creative and community-based projects and horizons.
