This article aims to map and analyze discussion on the feminisms of Brazilian post-graduate academic production in Visual Arts. Through a systematic bibliographical revision, it explores the Brazilian Digital Thesis and Dissertations Library (Biblioteca Digital Brasileira de Teses e Dissertações - BDTD), of the Brazilian Institute of Science and Technology (Instituto Brasileiro de Ciência e Tecnologia - IBICT), in the time period between 2000 and 2019. The content analysis of twenty nine master dissertations and six doctoral thesis has categorized some tendencies in this production, such as: feminist poetics, feminist readings, revisionist strategies and feminist approaches. These are works animated by an epistemology of difference, to which the world, the knowledge produced about it, is not reduced to the logic of an universal subject, but of subjectivities more or less constrained by disciplinary and control practices, by institutional discourse and knowledges, inserted in complex social relations, which break the conceptual normative framing of gender and sexuality.
