Feminist Insurgences takes the first steps towards mapping the previously unknown territory of the feminist art movement and women’s art in Norway and Sápmi in the 1970s. By examining how women artists challenged the existing institutional framework and created new structures, this edited volume offers groundbreaking new insights into Nordic and European transnational feminist history and suggests new premises for cultural heritage. It explores overlooked work by women in the visual arts, theater, dance, and documentary film, as well as critically examining art history, its institutions, and their collecting practices by studying women’s activism and exhibitions.Groundbreaking contribution to Nordic and European transnational feminist historyInvestigates how women artists interfered with the existing institutional framework and built new structuresExplores overlooked work by women in the visual arts, theatre, dance, and documentary film
