RE/SISTERS: A Lens on Gender and Ecology (Hardback)

Reflecting on a range of themes, from extractive industries

to the politics of care, this timely exhibition catalog looks at

environmental and gender justice as indivisible parts of a global

struggle. A culturally diverse selection of works by Laura Aguilar,

melanie bonajo, Xaviera Simmons, Minerva Cuevas, Barbara

Kruger, Nadia Huggins, Ana Mendieta, Sim Chi Yin, Pamela Singh,

Francesca Woodman and others are presented alongside works

of an activist nature to demonstrate how women are regularly

at the forefront of advocating and caring for the planet.

Amplifying these visions are illuminating essays by experts in

the field, including Professor Kathryn Yusoff, Professor Astrida

Neimanis, Professor Catriona Sandilands and Professor Elizabeth

DeLoughrey, that consider a diverse range of pertinent topics

such as hydrofeminism, the body as earth, queer ecologies,

and environmental racism. Together these texts and important

artworks reveal how the oppression of women, feminized

bodies and indigenous, Black and trans communities and the

degradation of the planet are inextricably linked—and the

ways in which understanding our environment can resist and

overcome the logic of capitalist economies.
