Abstract
Abstract This article focusses on Fatma Shanan, one of the groundbreaking Druze women artists in Israel. The article presents an analysis of four of the artist’s self-portraits, made between the years 2010–2017, relating to Shanan’s work as an emotional process. The authors examine how the artist relates to the complexity of her experience as a woman and as an artist active within the patriarchal Druze community and as a woman artist from an ethnic minority acting in the Israeli Western-oriented artworld. The article looks at her struggle through her intersectional experience and studies the strategies of action she has used in this struggle, focusing on the artist undergoing process of transformation from being a young student and artist (functioning under this multiple oppression) to her identification of herself as an individual artist and a pioneering feminist.
期刊介绍:
Third Text is an international scholarly journal dedicated to providing critical perspectives on art and visual culture. The journal examines the theoretical and historical ground by which the West legitimises its position as the ultimate arbiter of what is significant within this field. Established in 1987, the journal provides a forum for the discussion and (re)appraisal of theory and practice of art, art history and criticism, and the work of artists hitherto marginalised through racial, gender, religious and cultural differences. Dealing with diversity of art practices - visual arts, sculpture, installation, performance, photography, video and film.
