Reihe: Documentary Sources in Contemporary Art

This multivoiced collection of essays and images presents the perspectives of
activists, scholars, artists, and curators from a broad range of constituencies. Challenging
traditional disciplinary and cultural boundaries, the book moves beyond any unified feminist
historical narrative to present a "relational" feminism of diverse communities, affiliations, and
practices. The texts/images partake of many genres: reflective essay, testimonial dialogue,
performance piece, digital collage, prose poem, and photomontage. Forging connections between
usually compartmentalized areas of knowledge and of activism, the volume helps us to envision
alternative epistemologies and imaginative alliances.Copublished with the New Museum of Contemporary
Art.
