On feminism and resistance

Hello there,

I'm doing research on feminism in art, feminism and art, and about resistance. 
Timely? You can't imagine how much :)

This will become part of a writing residency I'm involved in. More on this very soon!! 

Feel free to send new, revolutionary artists, exhibitions and shows my way.

In the meantime, you can listen (again) to Chimamanda:
