How do artists, communities, and art connect with one another? How might multiple feminist views be used to interpret art? Art, Feminism, and Community: Feminist Art Histories from Turkey, 1973-1998 examines the lives and communities of artists and their works from Turkey. It suggests that feminisms shape artists' relationships and practices. It analyses seven major case studies and details rarely seen paintings, installations, photographs, drawings, batik, and performance art from 1973 to 1998. The work brings together twenty artists and cultural figures in a world of multifaceted relationships that influence the creation of new art. Uncovering familial, professional, and friendship links, it recreates transnational networks, intellectual collectives, political alliances, and ethnic communities. It demonstrates how artists have analysed their own experiences in their works, reflecting the effects of their communities and lives, even though these themes have been mostly overlooked in Turkish art history.
