| Start Date: 01/27/2026 End Date: 05/12/2026 |
| Term: Spring Semester 2026 |
| Description: This course will seek to learn where femme creators, across the centuries and around the globe, lived, worked, and exhibited their art. It will ask students to research academic texts, museum exhibition catalogues, auction house sales, and other archival materials to find and make space for women creators who have remained unacknowledged or underappreciated. We will look at traditional objects such as paintings and sculptures as well as performance art, video art, film, fiber arts, decorative arts, handiwork, craftwork, and others to reimagine who and what works belong in a new history of art. |
