Episode 5: Living Feminist Lives

How did artists engage with feminism in their personal lives? How did they negotiate artmaking with childcare? Did all feminist artists see themselves as part of ‘the movement’? And how did they test out new ways of working collectively and living communally?  Ana Baeza Ruiz explores interviews in the Feminist Art Making Histories archive where women shared their varied experiences living feminist lives. Ana is a lecturer at the Institute of Cultural Practices at the University of Manchester. She’s also one of the researchers on the Feminist Art Making Histories team.  Featuring edited clips from interviews with Terri Wragg, Rosy Martin, Christine Kinsey, Christine Roche, Liz Heron, Bobby Baker, Sonia Boyce and Rita Keegan.    Produced by Rosie Oliver – www.rosieoliver.co.uk   Follow us on Instagram - @feministartlives  Find out about the Feminist Art Making Histories project via www.famh.art    Explore the Feminist Art Making Histories archive via the Digital Repository of Ireland https://repository.dri.ie/objects/4742q334c/doi/4742q334c
