Abstract

Emerging from Spain to Senegal, Chile to Canada, Italy to Iran, this chapter illustrates the critical feminist pedagogic-activist roles Women’s Museums seek to play through physical space, mobile exhibitions, or virtual means. The work of women’s museums ranges from acquiring objects to undertaking research, from entering policy debates to bringing women curators and artists from across the globe together in conversation through the International Association of Women’s Museums (IAWM) network. Women’s museum curators and educators illuminate untold or hidden histories, creativities, experiences and voices, facilitate workshops on everything from health to gender to economics, reimagine the “dark histories” of war and domestic violence through a feminist perspective or engage in guerilla tactics and risky public practices.
