In recent years, the intersection of gender, art and activism has emerged as a dynamic field of enquiry, providing a platform for critical discussions on the complexities of social justice and equality. Unruly Visions: Art, Activism and Intersectionality in East Asia aims to explore and unpack the multifaceted dimensions of this intersection in the East Asian context, in particular, China, Japan and Korea. By adopting a translocal perspective, the conference seeks to bridge shared intersectional conditions across East Asia while acknowledging the importance of context-specific histories that shape the experiences of diverse communities.

The conference is generously supported by the National Center for Art Research Japan, Japan House London, The Oxford Research Centre in the Humanities (TORCH), the Ruskin School of Art and St Catherine's College.
