Elizabeth A. Sackler Center for Feminist Art and Morris A. and Meyer Schapiro Wing, 4th Floor
In celebration of the opening of the Elizabeth A. Sackler Center for Feminist Art, the Museum presents Global Feminisms, the first international exhibition exclusively dedicated to feminist art from 1990 to the present. The show consists of work by approximately eighty women artists from around the world and includes work in all media—painting, sculpture, photography, film, video, installation, and performance. Its goal is not only to showcase a large sampling of contemporary feminist art from a global perspective but also to move beyond the specifically Western brand of feminism that has been perceived as the dominant voice of feminist and artistic practice since the early 1970s.This exhibition is arranged thematically and features the work of important emerging and mid-career artists.
This exhibition is co-curated by Maura Reilly, Ph.D., Curator of the Elizabeth A. Sackler Center for Feminist Art, Brooklyn Museum, and Linda Nochlin, Ph.D., Lila Acheson Wallace Professor of Modern Art, Institute of Fine Arts, New York University.
Photography & Intermedia 
intrigued? disturbed? yes and yes. im no feminist researcher so naturally im not really all that sure as to what this is supposed to have to do with feminism, but it definately is a disturbing and interesting image.
This image instantly makes me think of chinese foot binding. I’m not sure if that is what the artist was going for, but even without the reference to foot binding, I see the comment on feminism being made with the bound faces. These women cannot easily speak or see, due to their bindings. What these bindings are, is not known, but I feel that is a metaphor for something.
The irony is that the subject of this photograph allowed someone to bind her. Are feminists massacists? Thats what I get from it.
