Street Art, Intersectional Feminism, and Digital Media-Art

Abstract

The chapter is dedicated to demonstrating artivist aesthetic discourses produced in converging relations between urban space, street art, intersectional feminism (gender, class, ethnicity), and digital technologies in a post-pandemic context. The research results derived from three stages: a survey of state-of-the-art study on relations between street art, feminist artivism, and digital media art; production and application of autoethnographic data in the creation of digital artistic artefact; and curatorship of video-installation. The analysis focuses on the case study of the post-digital art artefact Make me up! an immersive and cyberperformative experience that connects augmented reality (AR) technology, street art, Instagrammism and Selfiecity. The digital artefact Make me up! was launched during the “10th International Conference on Digital and Interactive Arts - ARTECH 2021: Hybrid Praxis: Art, Sustainability & Technology” in the historical city of Aveiro, Portugal, also known as the “Portuguese Venice.”
