Transdiscourse 3

New trans-disciplinary approaches to gender, creativity, and society

Transdiscourse 3: Women in Art, Science, and Body Politics unites 26 international women from the arts to explore dynamic intersections of science, body politics, and inclusive futures. Through creative approaches and collaboration with scientists, they reflect on the ethics of care and urgent social and environmental issues. Divided into five themes (contextualisations, personal reflections, exhibitions, conversations and investigations), the authors explore how power operates on and through the body, affecting human rights, sustainability, bodily representations and personal expressions. Transdiscourse 3 is a unique space for dialogue and a vital transdisciplinary resource, designed to inspire and encourage others to engage with creativity, discovery and change.

• Art meets Science: essays by female artists, curators, and theorists inspired by science
• Gender and Representation explored internationally through key themes
• A vital resource for scholars of cultural analysis and gender representation
