| Description | In 1978, feminist author Kate Millett founded an art colony for women in Poughkeepsie, United States, that remained in operation until the beginning of the new millennium. The colony was founded out of a belief that a gender-specific community would provide an environment where women artists could work unencumbered by social stigma. Millett Farm, familiarly referred to as 'The Farm', evolved from incorporating elements of the radical feminist, gay liberation, and avant-garde movements, creating an experimental community devoted to both the production and the discussion of art made by women. .In 2010 Millett invited S.O.J. - Sisters of Jam (Moa and Mikaela Krestesen) to stay with her at The Farm. This was the starting point for this cultural portrait of The Farm as an artist colony, a feminist community, a social experiment and an act of opposition. Contains interviews with past residents and photographs of The Farm. Also with journal entries, texts from the dissertation 'A world we have invented here' and a map of The Farm by Anne B. Keating. This book has been made possible by Swedish art funds and musea. |
