This link talks about the Feminist Art Base, which contains the fine arts from the feminist artist. The members of this group asserts that the mission of their center is to present a different type of female with an even added ability in the village(Buszek 222). The arts design in this site also raise awareness on the fact that women have their part to play in the community. The feminist therefore believe that they can achieve equality if they are to show their talents (Birnbaum 85).

From this we again get other members who call themselves feminist masked avengers; the guerilla girls. In their version of the art design, they say that there main aim is to talk about sexism, racism and corruption that has been of much talk in politics(Mason et al, 211). They therefore use humor and facts as form of literature devices to bring home their message (Boles 362). In using humor they are able to design whatever they think is afffecting women, without any one realising that he is being talked about. The facts they use also serves in illustrating how the hidden actions of men are affecting the women. There talent of being able to act any charactertraits also helps them to illustrate every action that shows sign of discrimination towards women.

This site present the gallery for Martha Wilson who is presented as acting variety of characters. This therefore makes her a outstanding character, as from the belief that only men can act in such a plausible manner. Martha Wilson therefore shows that whatever men can do, women can also with the same vigour. It is therefore true that women have the chance to rectify the so called discrimination in the community. The arts provide a very good instance(Marter 266). To offset the perception of discrimination, women have started coming in the limelight to show their talents. This is the main reason that triggers the Arab American Artists to do the work of artistry that off course they do well (Boles 362).

This site brings a symposia called Think Modern. The symposium addresses the issue of the discrimination of women through illuminating the relationship between gender and art. Women have been using art as a tool for revolution they have been looking for. In the process of finding the equality between them and their counterparts, female are trying everything to show the world that they are also worth in the community (Guynn 82). The community had always presumed that there was some work that could be done by men and not by women; their main purpose was to be at homeThe site therefore talks about arts as the major field of which the women have to explore to achieve their goal.

The site talks about the Zaha Hadid Architects which there is no doubt is headed by a woman. The type of the product and services produced by the architects shows how far the women have ventured into arts (Guynn 82). For instance they work in creating residentials which work in correlation with the sorrounding. From the site we also realize much of exhibition they do around Europe meaning that she is people’s favorite. The staff and the number of projects carried out also show the strength of the art done by women.
