Feminist Art Since 1970, a lecture with Megan Hinton

Tuesday, April 8, from 3:30 - 4:30 pm. Enjoy the current exhibitions ahead of the lecture, museum admission included!

Overlooking Images: Feminist Art Since 1970 will present contemporary artwork from the period of the 1970s until present day. The slide talk will investigate feminist art concepts such as the male gaze, stereotypes, equality, materiality, and identity politics. The ideas will expand notions of feminist art to show work made by a range of multi-race, queer, disabled, and indigenous artists. The lecture will expand the art historical cannon to expose often overlooked images that present a range of diverse cultural experiences. Enjoy the current exhibitions ahead of the lecture, museum admission included.

Megan Hinton is a painter known for reconfiguring genres of landscape, figurative, and object painting. Her art utilizes appropriation from painting’s history along with found and discarded material to investigate line, color, shape, surface, and scale. This fusion of subject and formalism spans further to her work in collage, sculpture, installation, photography, and performance. Megan holds an MFA in Interdisciplinary arts from Mills College where she won the Hung Lui Painting Prize. She has received residency fellowships from Twenty Summers in Provincetown and The Frans Masereel Centrum in Belgium. She is the recipient of the Provincetown Artist Association and Museum 2024 Award for Artistic Excellence and The Alice C. Cole ‘42 Merit Grant from Wellesley College. Megan is also an art educator, curator, and writer.

This discussion is offered in conjunction with She Said: A Docent Curated Exhibition from the CCMoA Permanent Collection, on view through May 20, 2025. In recognition of Women’s History Month in March, the CCMoA features artworks from our Permanent Collection created by women. Women have been historically underrepresented in museum collections throughout the world. The CCMoA will take this opportunity to provide the platform and research needed to celebrate the artistic merits of regionally significant woman artists, while also examining our Permanent Collection to identify female artists who may have been overlooked in the collection. Artworks will be displayed in conjunction with wall texts made possible by the research of the CCMoA Docents.
