Making Trouble: Women, Art & Science
Presented by The Feminist Art Project at College Art Association 2025 Day of Panels
Free & Open to the Public
Art Historian Linda Nochlin stated that “feminist art history is there to make trouble, to call into question, to ruffle feathers in the patriarchal dovecotes.” This event is dedicated to women who are troublemakers, and whose creative practice references science as a source of inspiration for writing, research, curating and art making. Through their work they question underlying assumptions about the world. Some have adopted science-based art making techniques, materials and concepts, to explore ideas about humanity. This event will focus on both the physical sciences (including artificial intelligence, trans-species organ transplants, DNA, ecology and natural history) and the social sciences (including psychiatry, hysteria, and mysticism).
