As part of the exhibition The Feminist Art Program (1970-1975): Cycles of Collectivity, REDCAT and MOCA present a day of films and panel discussions considering feminist art practices in the extended region of California, beginning with the pivotal Feminist Art Program at Fresno State College and CalArts. The day’s events give voice to an intergenerational group of artists, art historians, curators, and educators, whose work helped found California’s early feminist art movement and who continue to shape and transform diverse perspectives into transfeminismos here today. California’s unique context and histories influence the artists and pedagogies developing within it, ranging from its environmental concerns, social justice movements, relationship to the border, confluence of diasporic communities, and institutional histories (art schools and museums). The program speaks to a plurality of feminisms born from these intersections. 

The program begins at MOCA Grand at 1 PM and continues at REDCAT at 3:30 PM.
It is free with a reservation.
