Since the dawn of Hip Hop graffiti writing on the streets of Philadelphia and New York City in the late 1960s, writers have anonymously inscribed their tag names on trains, buildings, and bridges. Passersby are left to imagine who the author might be, and, despite the artists' anonymity, graffiti subculture is seen as a boys club, where the presence of the graffiti girl is almost unimaginable. Jessica Nydia Pabon-Colon interrupts this stereotype and introduces us to the world of women graffiti artists. Drawing on the lives of over 100 women in 23 countries, Pabon-Colon argues that graffiti art is an unrecognized but crucial space for the performance of feminism. She demonstrates how it builds communities of artists, reconceptualizes the Hip Hop masculinity of these spaces, and rejects notions of girl power. 'Graffiti Grrlz' also unpacks the digital side of Hip Hop graffiti subculture and considers how it widens the presence of the woman graffiti artist and broadens her networks, which leads to the formation of all-girl graffiti crews or the organization of all-girl painting sessions.

‘Feminisms’ (as a plural) is widely used today to draw attention to inequalities and to critique the status quo in limiting women’s roles/ positions/ lives/ potential. Art can offer a vision of future worlds, manifesting a desire for projecting change, playing with existing realities and conventions. Feminist Art Artivism and Activism, two sides of the same coin, arise where art approaches, develops or transforms into activism and vice versa, where activisms become artivisms. In both, art emerges in differing forms of political intervention, at both an individual, shared or collective level, apparent in actions, events, identifications and practices. This volume wants to reveal the diversity of these practices and realities. Representing a range of critical insights, perspectives and practices from artists, activists, curators, academics and writers, it explores and reflects on the enormous variety of feminist interventions in the field of contemporary art, social processes, the public sphere and politics. In doing so, Feminist Art Activisms and Artivisms touches upon broader questions of cultural difference, history, class, economic position, ecology, politics, sexual orientation, and the ways in which these intersect. « Féminismes » (au pluriel) est largement utilisé aujourd'hui pour attirer l'attention sur les inégalités et pour critiquer le statu quo en limitant les rôles/positions/vies/potentiels des femmes. L'art peut offrir une vision des mondes futurs, manifestant un désir de projeter le changement, jouant avec les réalités et les conventions existantes. Art féministe L'artivisme et l'activisme, les deux faces d'une même pièce, apparaissent là où l'art se rapproche, se développe ou se transforme en activisme et vice versa, où les activismes deviennent des artivismes. Dans les deux cas, l'art émerge sous différentes formes d'intervention politique, à la fois au niveau individuel, partagé ou collectif, se manifestant dans des actions, des événements, des identifications et des pratiques. Ce volume veut révéler la diversité de ces pratiques et réalités. Représentant une gamme d'idées critiques, de perspectives et de pratiques d'artistes, d'activistes, de conservateurs, d'universitaires et d'écrivains, il explore et réfléchit sur l'énorme variété d'interventions féministes dans le domaine de l'art contemporain, des processus sociaux, de la sphère publique et de la politique. Ce faisant, Feminist Art Activisms and Artivisms aborde des questions plus larges de différence culturelle, d'histoire, de classe, de position économique, d'écologie, de politique, d'orientation sexuelle et de la manière dont elles se recoupent.
