Portuguese artist Joana Vasconcelos (1971) is well-known for her stand on feminism as well as social and political issues.
Often controversial—one might remember the huge chandelier The Bride made of tampons and exhibited in Versailles in 2012—her work is edgy, subversive, and disturbing with a touch of tradition and craft. Indeed, most of us recognize her work through her ability to use different kinds of knit, crochet, and fabric.
