This report discusses the relationship between women and art, from the 1960s until present day. This is done by comparing vehicles of change within the feminist and feminist art movement, by analysing their achievements and how they can be improved upon. This report deep dives into the guerilla techniques of feminists and artists alike, iconic feminist art pieces such as ‘The Dinner Party’ by Judy Chicago and posters by the Guerilla Girls. While also scrutinising these early feminist works for their inclusion of intersectionality, leading into an examination of how black women artists overcame this inequality within the feminist movement. Lastly discussing the need for women-only exhibitions as well as their effectiveness, and what can be done from here to improve upon the relationship between women and art further – all while utilising the perspective of black, lesbian, feminist author: Audre Lorde, in order to assist with a focus on intersectionality.
