Feminisms and Contemporary Art in Indonesia: Defining Experiences: Asian Visual Cultures
Autor Wulan Dirgantoroen Limba Engleză Hardback – 15 mai 2017
While Indonesian contemporary art is currently on the rise on the international art scene, there hasn’t yet been an in-depth study of the works of Indonesian women artists and the feminist strategies they employ within the art world. This book fills that gap, presenting the first comprehensive study of feminisms and contemporary arts in Indonesia, using feminist readings to analyze the works of Indonesian women artists historically and today, illuminating the sociocultural contexts in which they have worked and offering a nuanced understanding of local feminisms in the nation.
