Feminist Art Coalition

Feminist Art Coalition, a platform for art projects informed by feminisms*. FAC fosters collaborations between arts institutions that aim to make public their commitment to social justice and structural change. It seeks to generate cultural awareness of feminist thought, experience, and action.

Notes on Feminisms, a series of newly commissioned essays : Saidiya Hartman – The Plot of Her Undoing .

Participating Institutions, includes Pérez Art Museum Miami (PAMM) with My Body, My Rules, October 9, 2020–May 9, 2021. and Women Photographers International Congress, a symposium, November 19–20, 2020, led by Aldeide Delgado.

Working collectively, various art museums and nonprofit institutions from across the United States will present a series of concurrent events—including commissions, exhibitions, performances, talks, and symposia—over the course of three months (September–November) in the fall of 2020, during the run-up to the next presidential election. This strategic endeavor takes feminist thought and practice as its point of departure and considers art as a catalyst for discourse and civic engagement.

Motivated by the ethical imperative to effect change and promote equality within our institutions and beyond, these collective projects will advocate for inclusive and equitable access to social, cultural, and economic resources for people of all genders, sexualities, races, ethnicities, classes, ages, and abilities. This cooperative effort stages a range of projects that together generate a cultural space for engagement, reflection, and action, while recognizing the constellation of differences and multiplicity among feminisms.
