Object-Oriented Feminism Panel

The Stamps School of Art and Design will host a panel on Object-Oriented Feminism and the question of "a feminist object" posed by OOF author Irina Aristarkhova. I will be in discussion with Irina Aristarkhova and two Stamps alumnae, Emily Dibble (BFA 2016) and Kit Parks (BFA 2015), and student Riley Hanson (BFA 2017).

Is painting an object that can be objectified? Should objects give "consent"? This panel discusses these questions within the context of Object-Oriented Feminism (Minnesota University Press, 2016), a new book edited by guest speaker Katherine Behar and including a chapter by Stamps Professor Irina Aristarkhova, and artwork made by Stamps students (Hanson, Parks, Williams, Dibble).

Copies of the book will be available for purchase, signed by the authors, following the event.
