WoW wow wow! Een boek over kunst en activisme dat echt de diepte ingaat. Het is zeker niet de laatste keer dat ik dit boek opensla.
Dit is een boek waar je door de jaren heen steeds bij terugkomt om informatie en inspiratie uit te halen.
Een lijfboek ❤️

A fresh, comprehensive and approachable anthology of contemporary feminist artistic and activist movements and key moments. Learned about artists I didn't even know existed, and gained further knowledge on others that I was already acquainted with. The book is not US-centric/too focused on Western narrative, but is inclusive of artists from the Global South. If you are interested in the interesections between contemporary art and feminism, it's a must read!
