On Chinese feminist art from the perspective of globalization

Abstract

In comparison with the expression of feminist art during the second wave of the feminism movement in the United States, Chinese feminist art embodies similar development paths but with different pursuits. Immigrant countries determine that feminist art in the United States has different aims on account of artists of different races and nationalities, such as black women discussing racial discrimination and immigration; European immigrants criticize patriarchy from the perspective of Western art history; and LGBT people are oppressed by society. However, Chinese feminist art also has its own unique artistic expression objects and goals in the development and evolution of feminist theory. Aiming at the prevalent problem of preference for boys over girls and gender inequality, Chinese female artists criticize the hidden gender discrimination in society in a particular way.
