Women in Revolt!: Radical acts, contemporary resonances

This two-day conference will explore the live and performance-based arts, sound and moving image practices that were an integral part of feminist creative and campaigning activities of the 1970s and 1980s.

Organised by CREAM (the Centre for Research and Education in Arts and Media at the University of Westminster) and hosted and co-organised by Tate curatorial, the conference brings together presentations from an international array of researchers and artists in response to an open call, aiming to expand the UK scope of the exhibition to consider international contexts and more recent approaches.

Speakers will address themes including radical film and political resistance, sound arts and feminism, female-led creative acts of resistance, activism, music and performance, archival practice in exhibition making and alternative models of making and storytelling.
