Unit 8: Art and Identity Representing “Otherness” in the Art World:
Gender, Race, Ethnicity, Sexual Orientation, Class…
2
Second-Wave Feminism Begins circa 1963 with Betty Friedan’s publication of The Feminine Mystique Goals of the movement were different from First-Wave Feminism, which had concentrated on making women equal under the law (voting rights, inheritance, property rights). Second-Wavers wanted social equality, freedom, and recognition of women’s work. Issues like equitable pay, education, the “second shift” of housework and child care, and female sexuality rose to the front. Strategies were demonstrations, consciousness-raising (CR), and other forms of activism that incorporated media. Slogan: “The Personal is Political”
3
Key Concerns of Second-Wave Feminist Art:
Defining a shared experience—essentialism Exploring and exposing the female body Prioritization of female experience over formal concerns or styles Restoring and revaluing previous women artists Examining the relationship between women and domesticity/private space Challenging sexist art world practices Rehabilitating “decorative” arts and “crafts”
