{"product_id":"desire-change","title":"Desire Change","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn the resistance to the violence of gender-based oppression, vibrant – but often ignored – worlds have emerged, full of nuance, humour, and beauty. Correcting an absence of writing about contemporary feminist work by Canadian artists, \u003ci\u003eDesire Change\u003c\/i\u003e considers the resurgence of feminist art, thought, and practice in the past decade by examining artworks that respond to themes of diversity and desire.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEssays by historians, artists, and curators present an overview of a range of artistic practices including performance, installation, video, textiles, and photography. Contributors address the desire for change through three central frames: how feminist art has significantly contributed to the complex understanding of gender as it intersects with sexuality and race; the necessary critique of patriarchy and institutions as they relate to colonization within the Canadian nation-state; and the ways in which contemporary critiques are formed and expressed.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHeavily illustrated with representative works, \u003ci\u003eDesire Change\u003c\/i\u003e raises both the stakes and the concerns of contemporary feminist art, with an understanding that feminism is always and necessarily plural.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"McGill-Queen's University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54251013439832,"sku":"9780228009108","price":46.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9780228009108_d3542b4e-b490-4739-a542-1e213c4a826c.jpg?v=1771314344","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/desire-change","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
