Making Women’s Art Matter’ explored methodological and critical questions about the process of recuperating the work of women artists. We aimed to collectively suggest and assess new approaches to evaluation and dissemination of their careers and legacies. Key questions included describing desirable critical models, the possibilities of subjective and empathetic enquiry, receptions of mature female artists, and the problematic of canon in relation to positioning and legacy. We addressed these topics in a series of focussed panels themed around contemporary practice, curatorial methods, building legacies, feminist strategies, supportive networks and performance. Our dynamic selection of speakers included artists, scholars, writers and curators, with an emphasis on drawing together distinct but associated fields to share evolving methodologies informed by responsive feminist agendas; established to accelerate the exploration, discussion and contextualisation of the work and legacies of women artists, with long term institutional affect. There was an overall emphasis on engaged discussion throughout the two and a half days, and we eschewed a keynote lecture in favour of a roundtable discussion.
