Quote

“Strong feminist art might or might not be obviousy political. By virtue of its expression of a repressed cultural experience, it will always in fact be political, as long as women’s experience is not widely acknowledged in our society. The purpose of feminist art (and contrary to the myth of functionless art, it does have a purpose) is to provide information about women’s way of seeing, to invite an exchange with its audience on the issues within the work, and put forth a visuion of a feminist culture. Concerned with communication about all else, feminist art cannot rest on prior assumtions or conventions about the nature of art. Its shape will be as radical as its contents." - Suzanne Lacy, Frontires: A Journal of Woman Studies
