Feminist Encounters: A Journal of Critical Studies in Culture and Politics, 1(1) ISSN: 2542-4920 CHIEF EDITOR’S INTRODUCTION FEMINIST ENCOUNTERS: A JOURNAL OF CRITICAL STUDIES IN CULTURE AND POLITICS Founded in 2017, Feminist Encounters is a journal committed to argument and debate, in the tradition of historical feminist movements. In the wake of the growing rise of the Right across the world, openly neo-fascist national sentiments, and rising conservative populism, we feminists all over the world are needing to remobilise our energies to protect and advance gender rights. Feminist Encounters provides a forum for feminist theorists, scholars, and activists to communicate with each other, to better educate ourselves on international issues and thus promote more global understanding, and to enhance our critical tools for fighting for human rights. Feminism is an intellectual apparatus, a political agenda, and a programme for social change. Critical analysis of how gender discourses produce cultural identities and social practices within diverse lived realities is key to this change. We need to think more sharply in order to strategise well: as the discourses of conservatism renew and invigorate themselves, so we as feminist scholars need to be refining our amazonic swords in order not just to respond effectively but also to innovate our own ideas for equality and social justice. We are, of course, committed to intersectionality, a vital lens through which to see the contours of race/ethnicity, class, sexuality, age/ability, and explore how gendered scripts get lived, and filtered through these specificities of cultural organisation. Lived experience is never codified in terms of gender alone, and so our research will always be sensitive to the nexus of lived oppressions. The journal has a large editorial board and journal team, consisting of over forty scholars in twenty countries. This is deliberately inclusive in order that we can promote diversity and engage with different concerns from across the world. Our aim is not to simply talk to ourselves, reconfirming our localised assumptions, but to generate feminist encounters across regions, even if this is sometimes uncomfortable. Globalisation has been a triumph of neoliberalism, but digital technologies have also flattened and reduced the distance between us in dramatic ways, so that now we can talk to each other with unanticipated ease. This new access to each others’ voices has also brought challenges to the way we think and do things, so that being a feminist today might be quite a different prospect to a person living in China, Iran, Norway, South Africa or the UK. Second Wave Feminism used the idea of ‘sisterhood’ to invoke solidarity between women. I’ve always rather liked Andrea Dworkin’s claim, though, that: “Feminism is a political practice of fighting male supremacy in behalf of women as a class, including all the women you don’t like, including all the women you don’t want to be around, including all the women who used to be your best friends whom you don’t want anything to do with anymore.” The notion of sisterhood was challenged by Black feminists in the 1980s as being too conceptually white, thus bell hooks’ trenchant critique that: “the idea of ‘common oppression’ was a false and corrupt platform disguising and mystifying the true nature of women’s varied and complex social reality”. In the 1990s and 2000s it has been fair to say that feminist theory and Feminist Studies since have engaged more intentionally and deliberately with intersectionality - though Jennifer Baumgardner did caution us that: “Sisterhood was never about everybody agreeing ....”. For our journal, sisterhood must expand and embrace our transgender allies and our men friends, reminding us that sibling relationships are rarely straightforward or inevitably blessed by golden moments of total affinity. Thus, Feminist Encounters welcomes the opportunity for new kinds of international discussions in the spirit of collaboration and critical intellectual enquiry. We hope for productive agreement and disagreement, and the shared struggle of fighting gender oppression, with our minds, hearts, and bodies, as the times demand.

  • Reflections from a Studio of Their Own: the Legacy of the Fresno Feminist Experiment 1970, Exhibition and Symposium, September, 2009
    Reflections from A Studio of Their Own: the Legacy of the Fresno Feminist Experiment 1970, Exhibition and Symposium, September, 2009 By Genevieve Walker Fresno, California, 1970. Judy Chicago holds auditions for her Feminist Art Class (FAP) at California State University Fresno. She chooses fifteen young women to participate. The program as originally designed lasts one year, attracting press and a graduate student from UCLA who makes a short film documenting the program. By the end of the year the program has moved to CalArts in Los Angeles where it culminates in the exhibition Womanhouse, 1972. The Feminist Art Program carries on at Fresno State, though no longer taught by Chicago. In 2009, Nine of Chicago’s original students and one from the following year taught by Joyce Aiken come together for a show of the work they produced during the FAP, the art they currently make, and to participate in a symposium. The women to participate include: Dori Atlantis, Vanalyne Green, Shawnee Wollenman Johnson, Suzanne Lacy, Karen LeCocq, Jan Lester Martin, Chris Rush, Faith Wilding, Nancy Youdelman, and Jacqueline Doumanian from the fourth year of the program. As I walked through the small Conley Art Gallery at Fresno State I felt the reverential calm that comes with the presentation of art. Dark corners with illuminated paintings and sculpture made the space eerie yet romantic - a catacomb dotted with altars. The body of work was dramatic, carrying with it a sense of the mystery being explored by the artists. The first images I was confronted with were three snapshots of the “Cunt Cheerleaders” taken by the unofficial historian of the FAP, Dori Atlantis.

  • OTIS Ben Maltz Gallery WB Exhibition Checklist 1 | Page of 58 (2012 Jan 23)
    OTIS Ben Maltz Gallery WB Exhibition Checklist 1 | Page of 58 (2012_Jan_23) GUIDE TO THE EXHIBITION Doin’ It in Public: Feminism and Art at the Woman’s Building October 1, 2011–January 28, 2012 Ben Maltz Gallery, Otis College of Art and Design Introduction “Doin’ It in Public” documents a radical and fruitful period of art made by women at the Woman’s Building—a place described by Sondra Hale as “the first independent feminist cultural institution in the world.” The exhibition, two‐volume publication, website, video herstories, timeline, bibliography, performances, and educational programming offer accounts of the collaborations, performances, and courses conceived and conducted at the Woman’s Building (WB) and reflect on the nonprofit organization’s significant impact on the development of art and literature in Los Angeles between 1973 and 1991. The WB was founded in downtown Los Angeles in fall 1973 by artist Judy Chicago, art historian Arlene Raven, and designer Sheila Levrant de Bretteville as a public center for women’s culture with art galleries, classrooms, workshops, performance spaces, bookstore, travel agency, and café. At the time, it was described in promotional materials as “a special place where women can learn, work, explore, develop their own point of view and share it with everyone. Women of every age, race, economic group, lifestyle and sexuality are welcome. Women are invited to express themselves freely both verbally and visually to other women and the whole community.” When we first conceived of “Doin’ It in Public,” we wanted to incorporate the principles of feminist art education into our process.

Milestones over the Four Decades of the Women’s Caucus for Art Whitney Chadwick Suzanne Lacy Ferris Olin Bernice Steinbaum Trinh T. Minh-ha WCA Mission The mission of the Women’s Caucus for Art is to create community through art, education, and social activism. Statement of Purpose We are committed to: recognizing the contributions of women in the arts providing women with leadership opportunities and professional development expanding networking and exhibition opportunities for women supporting local, national, and global art activism advocating for equity in the arts for all MOMENTUM Celebrating 40 years of the Women’s Caucus for Art I want to welcome you to the Women’s Caucus for Art’s 40th Anniversary Celebration ’Momentum’ and to the 33rd Lifetime Achievement Awards. There are those moments which change the trajectory of history and positively impact everything they touch. In January 1972, a group of women met at the annual College Art Association (CAA) conference in San Francisco in a over - flowing room to discuss the topic of sex discrimination in art depart ments. After concluding that there was a need for representation, they immediately collected money to start an organization, and the new Women’s Caucus of the College Art Association came into existence. In 1974 CAA informed the Women’s Caucus they could no longer use the CAA name and in that moment, the Women’s Caucus for Art moved from being a committee of CAA to being Photo by Christopher Ligeza.
