Adele Ruhdorfer will present a historical overview of the ways in which madness is represented and codified in visual art and culture, paying particular attention to its continued association with feminine embodiments. These examples will be contrasted with acts of reclamation and self-representation in modern and contemporary art, audio-visual and digital media.
