Below is the slideshow I shared in class, referencing the work of FOUR other photographers/artists working in photography as a principal medium, who are also doing feminist conceptual practice: Cindy Sherman, Nan Goldin, Moyra Davey, and Joiri Minaya. This is not an exhaustive treatment of the topic and rather meant to give you a sense of how these artists are extending/expanding upon shared elements of feminist conceptual practice in their work. The first downloadable file is in PowerPoint, the second is the same slideshow as a pdf.
