- Title
SHADES OF DISCRIMINATION.
- Authors
Schmahmann, Brenda
- Abstract
The article examines the emergence of feminist art in apartheid South Africa. Particular focus is given to how the author suggests that feminist art arrived late to South Africa, which she believes has to do with the relationship between racism and gender discrimination in the country. Additional topics discussed include how politics in South Africa impacted the art there, the 1979 "The State of Art in South Africa" conference, and the African National Congress. Various women artists working in South Africa are also examined, including Kim Siebert, Penny Siopis and Sue Williamson.
