Synopsis

Earth, Myths, and Ecofeminist Art is a contemporary art history book that documents Kyra Belan’s art. She is a post modern artist who is interested in equal rights for women, ecological issues, and animal rights. For over three decades Belan has been creating her social issues artworks. She proposes that women’s mythologies, history, and philosophical values must assume a mainstream position within our culture. The resulting society would become eco-conscious, peaceful and respectful of human rights. Kyra Belan’s art spans from traditional to new media, and is usually presented as installation or land art, performance art, or individual works.
