"After decades of neoliberalism, and in the wake of more recent and more brutal forms of division, this book is a treasure trove of the resistant practices contained in art and visual culture. Comprised of wide-ranging case studies and developing key concepts of solidarity and kinship for feminist art studies, it makes a crucial, expansive contribution to the field." - Amy Tobin, author of Women Artists Together: Art in the Age of Women's Liberation"Reaching beyond the 1970s as the foundational moment for feminist art and activism, Feminist Visual Solidarities and Kinships offers a wide-ranging examination of the social worlds built by artists, curators, and art historians across national and disciplinary borders, providing insights into the ways feminist solidarity is founded on the generative potential of differences. Moving, both in its call to attend to under-studied artistic movements and in its quick, clear, and multi-vocal prose, this compendium of essays demonstrates that networks, archives, and care are the central infrastructures for a feminist art history." - Gabrielle Moser, author of Projecting Citizenship: Photography and Belonging in the British Empire
