CFP: CENTENNIAL REFLECTIONS ON WOMEN’S SUFFRAGE AND THE ARTS: An international, multi-disciplinary public conference, University of Surrey, UK, 29–30 June 2018

16.04.2018

The 2018 centenary of the Representation of the People Act (6 February 1918), which granted the vote to many women in the UK, yields an ideal opportunity for sustained critical reflection on women’s suffrage. This conference seeks to explore the artistic activities nurtured within the movement, their range and legacy, as well as the relationships between politics and art. In striving for an inclusive, transnational reach, it will at the same time seek to move beyond traditional emphases on white middle-class feminism and explore the intersections between the regional, national, and global contexts for women’s suffrage with specific respect to the arts.
