Womanhouse Open Access publication edit
Summary of the case study and link edit
This publication was initiated during the 2021 Womanhouse exhibition at the Manoir de Martigny. It offers a series of previously unpublished archival documents about feminist exhibition practices between 1971 and 2021. It is a dialectical and open publication which aims to assess historical feminist questions’ resonance with and relevance to contemporary artistic and curatorial practices.
Divided into three sections, this book opens with two previously unpublished essays on the Manoir de Martigny exhibition and historical exhibitions (1971-72) organised by the Feminist Art Program (FAP) at CalArts. This section also features a written conversation with film-maker Lynne Littman, author of the documentary “Womanhouse is not a home” (1972) and an essay on the notion of domesticity/domestication following recent trends in migration and intersectional feminist studies. The second section of the publication explores a larger context to what Griselda Pollock calls “the feminist interventions in the histories of art” by examining international collective feminist exhibitions from the 21st Century.
