dismissed, and even buried. In an attempt to keep women’s work
visible, Craftswoman House seeks artworks that make a direct reference
to, or were inspired by, second-wave feminist art for inclusion in a

performance works for an event in early December.

Please send images or links of up to five works, or a link to video or
performance, a short statement on the relationship between your work
and second-wave feminist art, and a CV to craftswomanhouse@gmail.com

House, go to craftswomanhouse.com or craftswomanhouse.blogspot.com.
