Project description:  “A Closer Look at the Everyday Self: Feminism Expressions in the Art of Marina Abramović” 

Though Marina Abramović asserts she is not a feminist, this paper suggests that the greater context of Abramović’s performance work delves into a unique landscape of feminist principles; Abramović translates these principles into performances that explore aspects of the self, of spirituality, gender, culture, and so on, all the while infusing critical aesthetics of performance into work that expresses feminist principle.
