Abstract or Description

Helena Reckitt presented a paper on current curatorial and artistic practices that revisit the history of the women's movement and the coterminous art movement.

The talk was given during the Critical Curatorial panel on this one-day event which brought together academics, artists, curators and activists engaged in research and creative practices that work to challenge or re-imagine commonly held ideas about gender, sexuality, class and race, as well as notions of performance, art and curatorial practice.
