Summary Lesson 6

Why are these manifestos in this Lesson?

The final lesson of this course looks at different forms of feminist protest.

These manifestos:-
1) name discrimination and show how it is present
2) criticise the invisibility of the problem and lack of action in the current status quo
3) demand change and lay out recommendations for a new agenda which would include women

This lesson shows different strategies.
In part 1, WSABAL (women students and black artists for liberation) in New York is contrasted with Women Artists from Pakistan.
In part 2, a manifesto presented at an art fair is contrasted with Not Surprised, a campaign against sexual harassment.
In part 3, a group of women in Argentina and two female curators’ proposals are compared.

Please take part in the forum at the end of the course.
