‘Feminisms Without Borders’ Forum At Brooklyn Museum On March 31

AVV 2-21 #689

BROOKLYN, N.Y. — The Brooklyn Museum will present a symposium, “Feminisms Without Borders,” on Saturday, March 31, from 10 am to 5 pm.

Two panels of experts, including Melissa Chiu, Abigail Solomon-Godeau, Connie Butler, Tamar Garb and Jovana Stokic, will examine contemporary feminist art from a transnational perspective.

The first panel, “Resisting Art History,” explores the dominance of male European and American artists within art institutions and the canon of art history as a subject of contention. Maura Reilly, curator of the Elizabeth A. Sackler Center for Feminist Art, Brooklyn Museum, and co-curator of “Global Feminisms” exhibition will moderate.

The second panel, “Local/Global Feminisms,” looks at feminism contextually, rather than as a singular, universal term. The panelists will address the concerns of women locally and globally across cultural, racial, economic or other differences. The moderator of the second panel is Linda Nochlin, Lila Acheson Wallace Professor of Modern Art, Institute of Fine Arts, New York University, and co-curator of “Global Feminisms.”

Tickets are $10; $8 for museum members; $5 for students and senior citizens. The museum is at 200 Eastern Parkway. For information, www.brooklynmuseum.org or 718-501-6330.
