Diana Garvin pops-up in the Portland Art Museum galleries with her book, Feeding Facism: The Politics of Women’s Food Work.
Garvin is paired with the artwork Le Petit Pâtissier (The Little Pastry Cook) by Chaim Soutine; found in the Modern and Contemporary Art area, on the 1st floor of the Portland Art Museum. Please reference the Portland Art Museum Map or the Portland Book Festival print program to find this location.
Feeding Fascism explores how women negotiated the politics of Italy’s Fascist regime in their daily lives and how they fed their families through agricultural and industrial labour.
The book looks at women’s experiences of Fascism by examining the material world in which they lived in relation to their thoughts, feelings, and actions.
