Abstract
This article assembles feminist articulations scattered across art histories and theories ofEastern and Central Europe, in order to reveal their potential, not only for foregrounding postsocialistfeminist perspectives, but also for enriching the vocabulary and expanding temporal geographies oftransnational feminist debates. By attending to intuitive, latent, reluctant, proto-, para-, unofficialand soft feminisms, this article establishes a peculiar feminist sensibility that is attuned to Centraland Eastern European women artists’ approaches to everyday, embodied and affective experiencesvia the critical endorsement of intimacy and darkness.
