Blaze, Discourse on Art, Women and Feminism, emerges as a navigational text, celebrating past victories while charting new directions for today's second wave and third wave feminists. A feminist anthology, Blaze is comprised of feminist artists, art historians, critics, journalists, curators, interdisciplinary artists, and arts administrators of diverse backgrounds living across the United States. The book grows out of the 2006 Annual National Women's Caucus for Art (WCA) conference, held in Boston, Massachusetts. Blaze features 14 detailed and well-documented feminist histories that narrate a number of pertinent strands of activism regarding feminist art, scholarship, and organizational development while exploring current crossroads. The book addresses an assortment of timely issues related to leadership, representation, work, collaboration, criticism, environmental interventions, and social justice platforms. Blaze: Discourse on Art, Women and Feminism captures feminist arts professionals working together across differences. Please click here for more information.
