Title: FEMINIST ARTISTS!!! [Slightly NSFW] Post by: fairytales on Jan 20, 2007, 21:52 I didn't know where to put this so i decided here. I'm doing all about feminism for one of my art projects but i seem to be running out of artists and ideas, so if you know any artists then please send me a link or their name.
Thank you xoxoxox (http://www.artangel.org.uk/auction/images/20.jpg) (http://www.uh.edu/~cfreelan/courses/1361/naked.gif) Title: FEMINIST ARTISTS!!! [Slightly NSFW] Post by: Suzanne on Jan 20, 2007, 22:00 Hmm.. I don't really know what "feminist" art is these days, but I'll move this thread to the "Erotica" section because it's pretty NSFW. I hope you don't mind.
