Currently she is a phD student at University of Westminster researching cyberfeminist art practices in Eastern-Europe in 1990s and how participation in international networks (like Faces) has influenced local practices. In Estonia she is notoriously known as feminist artist, starting with co-organising first Estonian feminist art project ‘Est.Fem’ in 1995, she became widely known in Estonian mainstream media as 'revolting female'. Her often self-ironic art questions the place and the role of women in our societies and how women from Eastern Europe are perceived or seen as in the Western world.</p> Curator garderning London media art organiser phd student Tallinn Tue, 27 Jan 2009 22:00:38 +0000 mare 301 at http://faces-l.net Katy Deepwell http://faces-l.net/en/content/katy-deepwell <p>Katy Deepwell is founder and editor of n.paradoxa:international feminist art journal which started online in 1996 and went into print in 1998.
