- With the second-wave feminism in the 1960s and 70s, women in various parts of the world started mobilizing in women’s movements, which sometimes could take different feminist directions. In Gothenburg, Sweden, several women that took part in the women’s movement were visual artists. These visual artists organized themselves in separatist constellations with different feminist agendas. Some focused on gender roles, women’s bodies and reproductive processes, some on the importance of class and solidarity with third-world women, and some on sexuality issues and lesbian identities. In their respective separate constellations, the visual artists created new kinds of feminist imagery that were spread and communicated on several arenas in Gothenburg simultaneously, such as art exhibitions in cultural institutions, street actions in public spaces, and activist manifestations in women-centered associations, bookshops and magazines. In this presentation, I focus on the feminist art exhibitions that feminist activists in the women’s movement in Gothenburg organized at cultural institutions. These feminist art exhibitions, held in the 1970s and early 80s at the Gallery Maneten, the Röhsska Museum, the Gothenburg Art Gallery and the Frölunda House of Culture, were from a national Swedish perspective unique and very radical. Drawing on oral history and archival research, I highlight some of the key actors on the feminist art scene in Gothenburg and some of their radical imagery that were displayed in these feminist exhibitions.

- Abstract: Co-editors Maria Photiou and Marsha Meskimmon alongside chapters authors will talk about the book Art, Borders and Belonging: On Home and Migration. This volume brings together essays that explore the conditions of global migration as a process that is always both about departures and homecomings, indeed, homemakings, through which the construction of migratory narratives are made possible. Although the volume is centrally concerned with how recent and contemporary works of art can materialize the migratory experience of movement and (re)settlement, it also explores how the curating and exhibition practices, at local and global levels, can extend and challenge conventional narratives of art, borders and belonging.

Konferensbidrag (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Abstract: Transformations of political and social structures give rise to new social and political subject positions shaped by power relations. In societies affected by political and social unrest and by subject positions related to power relations are its colonial pasts often persisting as neo-colonial patterns in the present. In the US society with its cultural diversity, hegemonic norms and political antagonisms are social relations between various ethnic and racial groups played out through discrimination and we/them patterns. The impact of neo-colonial geopolitical processes and its contemporary sociocultural consequences are dealt with in various ways by different social groups and manifested in several ways in disparate kinds of venues. One kind of protesting discrimination and social power relations are manifestations by performance artists with radical street-performances in public places to unexpected audiences and by staging events at the very sites of power the performer seeks to transform. In this contribution I will present radical early street-performances by the Chicano artist Guillermo Gomez-Peña from the time when he was a young art student from Mexico in Los Angeles.

Bokkapitel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- This chapter investigates contemporary visual art in the USA by Chicanas/os in which the U.S.-Mexico border is the common denominator. The aims of the investigating are: 1) how references to the border are expressed in different ways, 2) how different kinds of references to the border imply expressions that transcend conceptions of the U.S.-Mexico border as a dividing barrier, and 3) how various conceptualizations of the border bring forth understandings of a bi-national/transcultural heritage that reach across the border and into its both sides. By applying a combination of content analysis, visual semiotics and social semiotics and drawing from border history and the concept borderlands, a found selection of 30 artworks in different material and techniques are organized into five thematic clusters. These clusters of visual themes and conceptualizations of the border reveal that: 1) a continuity with the past is created through polyvalent visual signs and symbols that adjust themselves to the theme of any composition, and 2) that temporal and spatial links between colonial pasts, U.S.-Mexico border history and present conditions in the borderlands bring forth visual expressions of a bi-national/transcultural heritage that transcend and challenge the U.S.-Mexico border as a national barrier of cultural heritage.
