Aperture 225 Winter 2016

The winter issue of Aperture, “On Feminism,” arrives at a moment when the power and influence women hold on the world stage is irrefutable, and the very idea of gender is central to conversations about equality across the country, and around the globe. “On Feminism” focuses on intergenerational dialogues, debates, and strategies of feminism in photography and considers the immense contributions by artists whose work articulates or interrogates representations of women in media and society. Across more than one hundred years of photographs and images, “On Feminism” underscores how photography has shaped feminism as much as how feminism has shaped photography. The WORDS section features "On Feminism" with contributions by Catherine Morris, Zanele Muholi, Laurie Simmons, Johanna Fateman, Zackary Drucker, and A. L. Steiner; "Modern Women: David Campany in Conversation with Marta Gili, Julie Jones, and Roxana Marcoci;" "The Feminist Avant-Gard" by Nancy Princenthal; "Sex Wars Revisited" by Laura Guy; "A Taste of Power: Renée Cox in Conversation with Uri McMillan;" "History Is Ours" by Eva Díaz; "On Defiance" by Eva Respini; Beyond Binary" by Julia Bryan-Wilson; and "Our Bodies, Online" by Carmen Winant.
