Mulheres artistas: apontamentos sobre perspectivas e experimentações possíveis

Abstract

The present dissertation follows a trajectory which discusses both the difficulty in seeing works of art made by women, as well understanding that female gaze allows another way of seeing the world. Women artists looked for alternatives to display their works, being these, photos, collages, paintings, illustrations and videos. Approaching the alternative media such as the culture of mail art, the zines and nowadays social networks, this study show us a parallel circulation of art outside the museums, in which increasingly younger artists propose to share their gaze with the public. The technologies available over the internet today are largely used by artists to gain visibility, and we can understand them as tools that contribute to this new way of exhibiting and experimenting of spaces. We put particular moments together, without historiographical concern, that composed a feminist narrative whose approaches inspired new artists from the years of 2010, and culminated in an attempt of curation with themes that deal with experiences, intimacies and othering ourselves.
