In this BALTIC Podcast exploring BALTIC exhibitions and research, art historian Victoria Horne examines Judy Chicago, specifically Femininity, Art and the Home.
Horne discusses the role of labour within the home, which was often at the fore of questioning within second-wave feminism and the Women's Art Movement. Horne also highlights the amplified and indistinct roles between domestic and paid labour that many may find present in their homes currently, while including reference to historical projects such as Womanhouse, that focused on these enquiries.
