ABSTRACT

This chapter considers the antagonisms and impasses of feminist art strategies as we have known them. The analysis mainly focuses on the question of visibility for women artists and looks at the affective counter-publics that the chosen case study, the exhibition Sunday Women (Athens, 2021), seeks to develop instead and which require strategic receding from women artists. This is so that the immigrant women domestic labourers' voices and thoughts move from being constructed as the subject matter of women artists’ work to being the subject. The chapter revisits and reviews some of the certainties of feminist art thinking to finally draw attention to the experiential lessons of feminism as an always contextual social movement in the first quarter of the 21st century.
