'I dare say that I am a feminist and art activist... Art Activism is one space in which the personal becomes political. It may sound naive, but I believe art has power to change people's perspectives. I don't mean art propaganda, but as something that make viewers re-think their own existence or as Byon Yong-ju, a Korean cinema director said, "to make the viewer anxious" by presenting my own position. I think this anxiety brings the possibility of a change of point of views.' - Yoshiko Shimada

The present publication brings together artworks and projects related to issues such as sex workers, feminism, national identity, etc. by Yoshiko Shimada from 1992-1998.
