Abstract
An examination of Senga Nengudi's relationship to Feminism, Postminimalism, and the Black Arts Movement. This thesis argues that, while her work overlapped with those three movements and tendencies, she ultimately expanded each of them to absorb greater sets of cultural references and formal criteria into their makeup.
