Decolonising feminism in women’s museums
Women's Museums as a new category of museums were first initiated in Europe and North America at the beginning of the 1980s. This period is also distinguished by the activities of the UN Decade of Women. In critical relation to the UN Women’s Conferences and the transnational exchanges they occasioned, Third World Feminism, decolonial, and race-critical feminist thought emerged as important frameworks for feminist activism. Yet, in hindsight thes…

The Architect as Humanitarian Worker
Living with an Infected Planet
Living with an infected planet has led to an unprecedented crisis of care. Since the outbreak of the coronavirus, life-making and death-making are at the center of global attention.

Elke Krasny presents a feminist mapping of key terms and key images defining the ›pandemicscape‹, l…
Curating with Care
Against Sexual Violence in the Museum
Depictions of sexual violence are frequently found in the collections and displays of art museums, and material that represents and affirms violence against women often is displayed unchallenged. This article poses questions about how the presence of this material has been addressed in the relations between feminist activism against sexual violence, art made by artists responding to and participating in feminist activism, and the curatorial activ…

Staying with the Crisis
This essay is written in response to the COVID-19 outbreak. Proposing to stay with the crisis, this essay starts from the centrality of care under the pandemic conditions. Radical despair and radical hope are the entry points for analyzing the terms orienting the response to the crisis. War and care have emerged as key terms mobilizing powerful imaginaries. The efficacy of martial propaganda based on war-talk with its ideology of death poses a th…
Unsettling Gender, Sexuality, and Race
Quantitative measures of relative representations of gender and minoritised persons provide stark evidence of the continuing inequalities in museums. Understanding and opposing such inequalities requires an account of museums that recognises their role in inscribing hierarchies associated with the modern nation state and its concept of citizenship. Benedict Anderson’s identification of the museum as one of the technologies of nation building in I…

Critical Care
Exposed
The article focuses on VALIE EXPORT's Transparent Space, a 2001 public art project in Vienna that is, at once, an autonomous artwork and a dedicated women's art space. The analysis is concerned with the contradictions encountered in this double function of Transparent Space, as they relate to feminism, and, in particular, to feminists making and curating art. Also known as Cube EXPORT and Women's Bridge, Transparent Space is implicated in urban t…
