Shares and Stakeholders, was a symposium that took place on February 25, 2012, which gaged the present and future of feminist artistic thought and practice. What are the stakes—and who are the stakeholders—of the feminist future? The day’s conversations reflected the greater inclusivity of a contemporary feminist art that embraces a multiplicity of identities and philosophies.

Topics of discussion included: feminist art educational models, the roles of men in feminist art, interventionist art strategies, radical queer art making, and feminism as a daily humanist practice. These panels built upon a tradition of feminism in Los Angeles through new readings and modes of engagement with this vital movement. Speakers shared their perspectives as artists, educators, curators, art historians, filmmakers and writers who are invested in the feminist future.
