In the face of gender-based oppression, a vibrant and often overlooked world has emerged, brimming with nuance, humor, and beauty. Seeking to rectify the lack of writing about contemporary feminist work by Canadian artists, Desire Change delves into the resurgence of feminist art, thought, and practice over the past decade. Through the examination of artworks that address themes of diversity and desire, the book explores the revival of feminist art in Canada.
Contributors, consisting of historians, artists, and curators, provide an overview of various artistic practices, including performance, installation, video, textiles, and photography. They address the desire for change through three central frames: the profound impact of feminist art on understanding gender as it intersects with sexuality and race; the critical examination of patriarchy and institutions in relation to colonization within the Canadian nation-state; and the ways in which contemporary critiques are shaped and expressed.
The book is extensively illustrated with representative works, amplifying both the stakes and concerns of contemporary feminist art. It recognizes that feminism is inherently plural, embracing the diversity of feminist perspectives and practices.
By exploring these themes, Desire Change contributes to a deeper understanding of gender, sexuality, and race, and highlights the ongoing relevance and significance of feminist art in shaping our world. It serves as a valuable resource for artists, scholars, and activists alike, fostering dialogue and promoting change in the fight against gender-based oppression.
