Description
Group Work: Contemporary Art and Feminism explored the legacies and histories of group work in art since the 1970s, with a focus on feminist practices.
This research project asked what would a (feminist) art history look like if it refused to tell a history of individual artists? And how did the collectivity inherent in much feminist organising in the 1970s and 1980s feed into artistic practice? Thinking through the legacies of consciousness-raising in art, as well as other political group work that intersect with feminist politics, including the peace movement, anti-racist and women of colour activism, and lesbian, gay and transgender activism, Group Work ran seminars and workshops from January 2019, starting with an event at the Courtauld Institute of Art, until it finished in December 2025. It was funded by the British Art Network, the Courtauld Institute of Art and the Department of History of Art at the University of Cambridge.
