Feminism and Religious Art

In this course, we will explore the fraught intersections of feminism, spirituality, religious power and artistic expression. Through the lens of Catholic hagiography, we will take a particular interest in stories of female saints such as St. Kateri Tekakwitha, St. Maria Goretti and St. Gertrude of Neville as well as Virgin Martyrs such as St. Agatha of Sicily and St. Philomena. This will be a class where we will learn in different styles and registers through narrative and hands-on art making. Students are expected to complete a personal icon as a part of this class.
