The history of the feminist art movement will be the subject of a presentation at noon Thursday, Oct. 24, at the University of California, Davis. Joyce Aiken, a professor of art at California State University, Fresno, will make the presentation in MU II of the Memorial Union complex. In her program, Aiken will trace the feminist art movement duirng the 1970s and early 1980s, showing examples of feminist art, recounting the activities of some of the early pioneers of the movement, and describing their assessments of the current state of women's art. Aiken began teaching feminist art classes at CSUF in 1973, after artist Judy Chicago established the program there in 1970. The classes were among the first of their kind to be taught at a university in the United States. From 1978-81, Aiken headed the Coalition of Women's Art Organizations, a leglislative lobbying group representing women artists in Washington, D.C. She has been on the board of directors of the New York Women's Center for Learning since its founding in the early 1980s. "These experiences gave me a great opportunity to travel around the country and talk to women about their art and their struggles to be recognized," Aiken said. In recognition of her activities, Ms. magazine named Aiken one of its "80 Women to Watch in the '80s." Aiken is also an accomplished artist, having had her works in more than 30 exhibitions. The program, which is free and open to the public, is co-sponsored by the Women's Resources and Research Center, the Department of Art and the Department of Art History.
