FEMINIST LECTURE PROGRAM SUMMER RECORDINGS SERIES!
Dear students and fellow critical theory lovers!
As we take our yearly sabbatical over the summer months to prep for what is already shaping up to be a LIT September term, we wanted to make sure that we’re feeding your curious minds as we all melt in this heatwave, so we’ve cooked up a series of our core program recordings (some of which have never been released on our archive), and we’re making them available to you at a Pay-What-You-Can Price! All these lectures are delivered by our founder and director Luisa-Maria MacCormack. Luisa is an artist, researcher and educator specializing in Feminist Art History and with a particular interest in Ecology, Magico-Religious Practices and our Deep Past.
FLP is an entirely un-funded program that brings you cutting edge Feminist Education at a pay what you can price, every single donation matters to us no matter how large or small, so please give what you can truly afford so we can keep our pay-what-you-can system flying high for the long haul 😎
LECTURE DESCRIPTION
Join The Feminist Lecture Program for a lecture celebrating the life and works of Artemisia Gentileschi!
Artemisia. The woman who reinvented the Baroque, student of Caravaggio? Rape Survivor, Mother, Paintress to Kings and Queens, inspiration to seemingly all who know her work and story. Subject of plays, operas, one-woman blockbuster shows at the National Gallery London. Icon of the modern feminist movement.
This session, led by our very own Artemisia aficionado Luisa-Maria MacCormack, will immerse you in the turbulent story of one of the world's greatest female painters, arguably the world’s first woman to use art as a medium of resistance in her own personal and professional battles, living in a time when women’s rights did not yet exist.
This session will allow you to live and breathe her works, explore her inspiration and subject matter, analyse her paintings and - most curiously of all, explore the reasons behind her recent eruption into the contemporary art world. Luisa will be referencing her own series; FINDING ARTEMISIA, that was inspired by Artemisia's work, as well as the work of many other contemporary artists who have drawn on Artemisia as inspiration.
THIS RECORDED CLASS IS AVAILABLE IMMEDIATELY.
CLASS EXPIRES ON 18TH AUGUST
