NCMA Film Club: !Women Art Revolution

If you enjoy watching and talking about films, join us for a virtual meeting of the NCMA Film Club! To celebrate Women’s History Month, we are featuring the documentary !Women Art Revolution by Lynn Hershman Leeson, which explores the emergence of the feminist art movement of the 1960s and 1970s.

Our special guest moderator for the discussion is Kimberly Kay Lamm, associate professor in the Program of Gender, Sexuality, and Feminist Studies at Duke University, whose scholarship includes contemporary feminist art and feminist theory.
