Subject: CONF: 'Deviant Women' - Women and the Visual Arts 
(online/Bristol, 10 Jul 25)

Space 3-5 Woodland Road, Bristol, BS8 1TB / Online, Jul 10, 2025
Registration deadline: Jul 7, 2025

Women have long been viewed as ‘deviant’ in their roles as artists, 
authors, models, patrons, and collectors. Their paths to becoming 
artists or patrons may ‘deviate’ from the norm, their chosen medium or 
subjects may diverge from those expected by the market, and their 
representations of themselves and those around them may be unorthodox 
compared to the art historical canon.

This symposium brings together cutting-edge international research, 
exploring how we can contextualise this ‘deviancy’ in our work on women 
and the visual arts.

Panel topics:
Transnational feminine identities
Domestic environments and homemaking
Alternative approaches in the archive
Beyond the boundaries of the medium
Women and self-representation
Writing, language, poetry
Against the grain
The Body, Labour, and Visibility
