Description
Book SynopsisAn impressive and sobering analysis of gender and diversity in contemporary art, and a compelling call for more inclusive curating.
Trade Review"Dymond gives artists and contemporary arts practitioners in Canada the numbers that allow us to assess what we have achieved and where we are failing, providing a baseline for the future. Her engagingly written and sympathetic account speaks to the gap between feminist theory and practice, offering compelling arguments for working to diversify the canon." Diana Nemiroff, University of Ottawa and former curator at The National Gallery of Canada
"In this thorough study, Dymond reveals that inequity is still common in Canada despite advances made in Canadian society [and] finds that museums in all locales have issues with showing women, minorities, and indigenous people. The book ends with a call to action for more diversity. Includes extensive notes and bibliography. Recommended." Choice
