The publication highlights this significant acquisition, contributing to the Museum's continuous effort to research and rethink twentieth-century art history narratives by amplifying the presence of women artists.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eLike the exhibition, the book is structured around thematic groupings, arranged chronologically, each prefaced by a short text. Special attention is devoted to topics such as: pictorialist portraiture, surrealist explorations, portraits of artists, social documentary, advertising, photography and language, photojournalism, gender and the media, still life and domesticity, performance for the camera, and the camera as a means of personal artistic expression.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFrom modernists such as Claude Cahun and Yva to contemporary photographer Catherine Opie, many of the works in this volume elicit conversations about queer subjectivity. Themes related to colonial history and indigeneity are addressed in photographic projects by both Native artists such as Cara Romero and Hulleah Tsinhnahjinnie, and non-Native practitioners including Graciela Iturbide, Sharon Lockhart, Meridel Rubenstein, Tatiana Parcero, and Tracey Moffatt.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eLorna Simpson and Carrie Mae Weems offer uniquely feminist African-diasporic viewpoints on the relationship of race and gender. \u003cem\u003eOur Selves\u003c\/em\u003e presents a series of new perspectives that rise to our current moment, addressing the urgent need for more intersectional conversations in the arts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Thames and Hudson (Australia) Pty Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47362942697708,"sku":"9781633451339","price":85.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/15760883482769.jpg?v=1772905063","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/products\/our-selves-photographs-by-women-artists-by-roxana-marcoci-9781633451339","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
