In recent decades, art museums have gradually increased their focus on gender, equality, and diversity in collection management, curation, and research. But how do art museums approach the legacy of feminism and deal with their Scandinavian self-image as gender-equal and inclusive?
Have we truly moved beyond the “masculine genius,” or are we simply replacing him with female “pioneers”? Furthermore, what about decolonization, indigeneity, and diversity? How might museums challenge old national and gendered hierarchies that separate art and (art)craft, aesthetics and cultural history?
The event is a collaboration between the National Museum of Art, Architecture and Design and the research project The Feminist Legacy in Art Museums (FLAME).
The seminar will be held in English and streamed.
