Archives of American Art Journal: Spring 2021, Volume 60, Number 1

Cover of Spring 2021 issue of the Archives of American Art Journal

The Spring 2021 issue of the Archives of American Art Journal (vol. 60, no. 1) showcases new approaches to feminism in and through the Archives, asking: What constitutes a feminist reading of an archive? In what ways do archives serve or challenge feminist art histories? And how can or should we define a feminist archival practice today? The issue also features a diverse set of reflections on the COVID-19 pandemic and the national reckoning with racism in the summer of 2020, including a conversation with scholars and artists on the role the Archives can play in the context of these public crises, and a collection note on the Archives' Pandemic Oral History Project.
