Feminism and Art Today, a roundtable hosted by the Visual & Critical Studies program at California College of the Arts, lends impetus to feminist initiatives in the arts while contributing to the analysis of both the rhetoric and the art generated in contemporary institutional contexts.

We have invited art historians, artists, curators, critics, and art administrators who actively participate in the expansion of feminist cultural arenas to engage in conversation with CCA students and faculty members, as well as members of the wider community, about the influx of institutional interest in feminism.

We ask, "Why now? What are the political stakes? Where are the silences and blind spots? What comes next?" We aim to create a space for public dialog and intergenerational exchange about contemporary visual culture that engages with feminist issues, provokes feminist analysis, and raises social consciousness.
