ArtFem.TV

ArtFem.TV is a non-profit artist run ITV and media art portal presenting Art and Feminism. The aim of ArtFem.TV is to foster Women in the Arts, their art works and projects, to create an international online television screen for the creativity, images and voices of Women.

“Although there is little consensus among women at the present time about where to go next, and although many goals of the Women’s Movement have not been met – there is still violence against women, discrimination in education and employment, racism, and sexism in daily life – contemporary art by women reveals the formulation of complex strategies and practices through which they are confronting the exclusion of art history, expanding theoretical knowledge, and promoting social change.”[Whitney Chadwick, Women, Art and Society, Thames & Hudson, London, 2002]

ArtFem.TV is an attempt to break with a male dominated net-culture and media landscape to highlight women’s emphases in art and media works.
