- Title
Feminism, art, the library and the politics of memory.
- Authors
Pollock, Griselda
- Abstract
Questions posed in this short paper are based on thinking back over 30 years of feminist studies in the visual arts and museums. Does the library work for its culture, or sometimes against the grain of its own culture’s amnesia or even repressions? What are the politics of memory in relation to art library practices in terms of registering the critical reworking of knowledge that is associated with feminist critique of institutions, language, disciplines, practices, social relations? How are we to ensure libraries survive as keepers of cultural memory in the era of profitability? What will be lost under these economic pressures in terms of our ability in the future to understand our histories?
