All Tomorrow’s Parties: Summoning Creativity in Shanghai

All about WǒMén - Documentary film !W.A.R. (!Women Art Revolution-A Secret History)

Selected by MOMA New York as one of the 3 best documentaries of the year, !Women Art Revolution is the film created by artist and filmmaker Lynn Hershman Leeson over the last two decades (1990-2008). Drawing from events including male-artists-only anti-war protest exhibition, and featuring key figures such as Judy Chicago and Mary Beth Edelson, the film elaborates on how feminist art, civil rights, social justice are all intertwined to influence the history of humankind. The interviews, artwork, and rare archival footages chronicle how the Feminist Art Movement weaved free speech and social activism into artistic creativities that transformed the art and culture of America.

In 2012, Wu Xiaoyan founded "the Beaver", a feminism-themed art group, and generated a community created version of Vagina Monologues based on Chinese women's living experience, "Yin Dao Duo Yun", which hit the theater as a sensation with its three times of public performance .
