Entering the picture : Judy Chicago, the Fresno Feminist Art Program, and the collective visions of women artists

"In 1970, Judy Chicago and fifteen students founded the groundbreaking Feminist Art Program (FAP) at Fresno State. Drawing upon the consciousness-raising techniques of the women's liberation movement, they created shocking new art forms depicting female experiences. Collaborative work and performance art - including the famous "Cunt Cheerleaders"--Were program hallmarks. Moving to Los Angeles, the FAP produced the first major feminist art installation, Womanhouse (1972)
