Conference Paper
Selfie Feminism: contemporary identity art practices and the complications of #visibility paper for FRANFEST Symposium: Feminism, Art and Activism 40 years Art Gallery of South Australia, Adelaide, Australia, Sept 2017 Many young female artists are co-opting the codes of social media creating what is known as ‘selfie feminism’ which claims that posting your own image online is an act of self-empowerment and that creating gender equality can be achieved through online visibility. However, there are a range of other artsits who are seeking to complicate the simplicity of this argument. A new generation of female artists are giving feminism a lot of screen time yet I will contextualise their work within a lineage of feminist artists to assert that the personal is still political. |
Conference Paper
Selfie surveillance: who is watching us when we’re watching ourselves? presentation, Agency & Aesthetics symposium on expanded photography, 1st April 2017, Auckland Art Gallery, Aotearoa New Zealand
Contemporary self-identity seems intimately linked to public visibility yet we become entangled with corporate and governmental agendas when we upload images of ourselves online. From narcissism, to self-empowerment, to selfie as content and selfie as commodity - the readings of selfies are as complex and multidimensional as the faces they present. My research charts the role that contemporary artists have in reinforcing and subverting these changing conditions of the selfie and self identity.
