Practitioner:
Caroline Criado Perez
Date:
Mar 7 2019
The problem with feminism is that it’s just too familiar.

Unfortunately for women, though, the hoary old problems of discrimination, violence and unpaid labour are still very much with us.

Practitioner:
La Paloma Feminista

It is also an initiative that seeks to reflect on the role of women in the history of modern art. Historically, the role of women in art has been stolen by the patriarchy.
