Feminist Moving Image Practices

Abstract

This entry covers a brief herstory of feminist moving image practices, as individual artists or collectives have performed them. It aims to consider those less known histories, outside of the main United States and United Kingdom‐centered narratives. Often these refer to feminist work with moving images only as a part of a moment when video, as a more accessible technology, entered the gallery or museum space and afforded this space political potential. The role of this contribution is thus to offer an account that covers as much as possible a wider geographical range, as well as the documented feminist work with moving images performed by women of color and LGBTQ filmmakers and artists.
