An initiative spearheaded by six graduate students resulted in a very successful, well-attended event at the Alexander Library Teleconference Center on October 26, 2007. The symposium was sponsored by Isabel Nazario, Associate Vice President of Academic and Public Partnership in the Arts and Humanities. The proposal for this event, written by the students noted: “Feminism in the visual arts remains as fiercely contested today is it was 35 years ago. . . . We aim both to reaffirm and re-appraise the state of feminism today and its direction for the future.” Working with Professor Marter over 6 months, the symposium was organized with a keynote address by Kristine Stiles. The conference was subdivided into sessions which included “A Woman’s Place/Female Territory and Feminine Status,” with speakers Abigail Van Slyck and Despina Stratigakos. “On Display/The Role of Performance” offered a provocative performance by Coco Fusco and a presentation by Midori Yoshimoto. The session “Identity/Representations and Extensions of Self” began with a paper by Anna Chave, and a presentation by artist Aviva Rahmani followed. Our graduate students Olivia Gruber, Ricki Sablove, Kim Sels, Annemarie Voss, Kat Waller and Katherine Weaver are to be commended for their attention to every detail of this conference, including accommodations for the speakers, publicity, and conference facilities.
