Gender
Exploring how gender is constructed, expressed, and challenged through visual and material culture, this theme considers the ways art can reinforce or subvert social roles and identities. Content may include representations of femininity, masculinity, and queerness; the role of the body in ritual and adornment; and how artists navigate gendered experiences within their cultural contexts.
