1970s feminist art movement
The 1970s feminist art movement was a cultural shift where women artists used their work to challenge gender inequality and highlight women’s experiences. They aimed to break traditional art norms, question male dominance in the art world, and explore themes like identity, body politics, and societal expectations. Through diverse mediums—performance, installation, and activism—they sought to empower women, promote equality, and create visibility for women’s perspectives. This movement helped open doors for future generations of women artists and contributed to broader discussions on gender and representation in society.
