“Feminism” is one of those words that seems to have become old-fashioned, even anachronistic.
Yet even if they have fallen out of the spotlight, the issues enshrined in that word, a divisive touchstone of the 1960s and ’70s, have not gone away. They have just been updated and rethought.
A compact exhibition at the Auraria campus’ Emmanuel Gallery explores some of these contemporary takes in an exhibition titled “New Feminisms: Revolutions Per Minute.”
Gender identity, sexual stereotypes and other aspects of feminism are explored through a mix of painting, photography, video and installation art.
The show features six artists, including two from Denver — Christine Buchsbaum, who stages elaborate scenes for her photographs, and Theresa Anderson, who creates paintings and installations with complex, elusive narratives.
It is part of a month-long “Gender and Media” program running in conjunction with the University of Colorado Denver’s College of Arts and Media.
“New Feminisms” continues through Thursday. Hours are 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Tuesdays through Fridays and 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturdays. Free. 303-556-8337 or . Kyle MacMillan
