- 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.
