Feminism, Punk and the Avant-Garde

Minor Compositions Podcast Episode 7: Feminism, Punk and the Avant-Garde with Becky Binns

For this episode we have a discussion with Becky Binns about her recently released book Gee Vaucher: Beyond punk, feminism and the avant-garde. We cover a a range off topics including Gee’s work in relationship with punk and artistic countercultures, as well as the changing historiography of punk and feminism. Does art produced in collective projects or by artists not seeking personal notoriety get lost within the historical narrative? Have the conditions for the production of autonomous art and life vanished, and how we might collectively create them again?
