Author Information

Angela C. Wild is a political artist, lesbian feminist activist, and a writer. Her work focuses on promoting lesbian visibility, lesbian culture, defending women-only spaces, and challenging compulsory heterosexuality. She is a former founding member of Get The L Out and the author of Lesbians at Ground Zero—the first research on the ‘cotton ceiling’. She is the creator of Wild Womyn Workshop, shop for radical feminist activists. She lives and works in Wales. She is a committed direct-action activist and has co-organised some of the most visibler campaigns for lesbian rights in recent decades. Her art – often collective or co-operative in nature – spans conceptual work, illustration, intervention, installation, reclaiming space for women in the public, political and symbolic sphere. Frequently invoking witches and goddesses as alternative archetypes of female power, her work offers counter narratives to patriarchal representations of women, reclaiming women’s history, imagery and imagination. Her practice embraces the radical power of irreverence toward oppressors, encouraging women to reassert the power of naming, and to refuse being defined or silenced by men. Her writing appears in the anthologies, Spinning and Weaving: Radical Feminism for the 21st Century; OutSisters, InSisters, Lesben and in magazines Screech and Rain & Thunder. Her visual work has featured in Banner Culture exhibition and book by the British Textile Biennale and is archived at the Archives Recherche Culture Lesbiennes in Paris.
