In this course, with an emphasis on the Hemispheric Americas and an eye toward transnational enactments, students will survey the performance of feminism from the (post) Civil Rights era to present day in the visual arts, politics, popular culture, and everyday life. Students will study a range of feminist scholarship located at the intersection of aesthetics and politics to develop their own feminist performances.

It's time to think critically about Wikipedia articles. You'll evaluate a Wikipedia article related to class.
Choose a feminist performance/feminist performer that is different than the one you presented on in class (when applicable). You can choose to improve the page you critiqued in the previous assignment. You could also choose an artist's page (e.g. Lorraine O'Grady), a group’s page (e.g. Pussy Riot), or the page dedicated to s specific action (e.g. Slutwalk).
Look for someone/an action with little to nothing written on the English-language Wikipedia site, but who has been written about in several reliable secondary sources (like our course readings, books, or journals).
Research Resources:
Our librarians have compiled a great library guide for the Art + Feminism edit-a-thon last spring. Use this site as a resource: http://newpaltz.libguides.com/c.php?g=329502&p=2212388.
You must add a minimum of 500 new words of prose to the page you have chosen using at least 3 new sources. You could also add lists and tables (such as exhibitions, recognition, feminism), but this will not be counted as part of your word count.
Tweet about your edit with the course hashtag: #PerfFem.
