Interdisciplinarity in Action:
Green College and ISGP Weekly Series Lecture
Radical Visions: Feminist Interpretations of Fairy Tales in Paintings,
Sculptures, and Photography
The major argument of Professor Zipes’s talk is based on a blunt assertion:
the fairy-tale notion about happiness must be turned on its head if we are
to glimpse the myths of happiness perpetuated by the canonical fairy tales
and culture industry and if we are to grasp what happiness might mean. In
the course of his argument he will situate the work of some talented
feminist painters, sculptors, and photographers, Kiki Smith, Joellyn Rock,
Claire Prussian, Sharon Singer and others, within the great historical and
cultural movement of feminism that has influenced their extraordinary art
and the works of many other innovative female artists and writers in the
wondrous realm of fairy tales.
