Description
New Women's Work challenges the historical relegation of 'women's work' to the domestic sphere, often excluded from galleries and broader discussions of 'art'. From cross-stitching and quilts to baskets and decorative ceramics, women have spent centuries creating masterful crafts without recognition from the historians and institutions that determine whose names are remembered and whose work is celebrated.
This book explores these art forms by focusing on ten areas traditionally labelled as 'feminine'. Featuring 38 artists from around the world, Angelik Vizcarrondo-Laboy examines the traditions these artists engage with and the boundaries they are breaking. Through stories of family, migration, gender, and the meaning of being a craftsperson, New Women's Work delves into the future of the feminine in the arts.
