Endengering the City: Women Artists and Urban Space is the first volume of the Nexus series, a new six-volume series which considers a range of theoretical issues drawing on the work of contemporary women photographers. Volume 1, Engendering the City, looks at the work of ten contemporary photographers who explore the theme of the city: Michelle Henning, Debbie Humphry, Bjanka Kadic, Karen Ingham, Rosy Martin, Alexandra McGlynn, Esther Sayers, Magda Segal, Emmanuelle Waeckerie, and Elizabeth Williams. Feminist reconceptions of space are combined with innovative representational strategies which reveal the many ways in which women artists can form new models of seeing and knowing. |
