In celebration of the opening of the Elizabeth A. Sackler Center for Feminist Art on March 23, the Brooklyn Museum presents Global Feminisms, the first international exhibition dedicated to feminist art from 1990 to the present. Dramatically expanding the definition of art to be more inclusive in all areas, from subject matter to media, feminist art reintroduced the articulation of socially relevant issues after an era of aesthetic “formalism,” while pioneering the use of performance and audiovisual media within a fine art idiom.

Global Feminisms consists of work by approximately eighty women artists from around the world and includes work in all media—painting, sculpture, photography, film, video, installation, and performance. The exhibition is on view thru July 1.
