Abstract
In Poland through the 1970s alternative spaces enabled the flourishing of a feminist artistic avant-garde. In Ireland, in the 1970s and 1980s the artists were primarily concerned with the Troubles, the persistence of cultural nationalism and its impact on their identities. In both countries, the 1990s were a time of heated discussions, putting the female body in the limelight: as the Church took on a considerable role in the debates over abortion, contraception, and divorce, feminist artists addressed the denial of the corporeality of the women’s body and took over its representation. The Europeanization and secularization of the two countries spurred these artists to evoke sexuality more openly and to challenge the perceptions of femininity and womanhood.
