Episode 7: Class Politics

How did women’s class background affect their approach to art and feminism? How did they use their work to explore issues of disenfranchisement, inadequacy and shame? And how did they negotiate privilege and disadvantage in their working practices?  Amy Tobin explores interviews in the Feminist Art Making Histories archive where women talked about class and class politics. Amy is a professor based in the Department of History of Art at the University of Cambridge and a curator at the University’s modern and contemporary art gallery, Kettle’s Yard.  She’s also one of the researchers on the Feminist Art Making Histories team.  Featuring edited clips from interviews with Cosey Fanni Tutti, Margaret Harrison, Su Richardson and Suzy Varty of Feministo, Rosy Martin, Adele Patrick, Rose English, Symrath Patti, and three former members of See Red Women’s Workshop: Anne Robinson, Pru Stevenson and Suzy Mackie.    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
