In 2020 AWARE launched a free webinar, open to all, allowing the public to meet and exchange with members of our TEAM programme, as well as guest speakers working towards greater inclusiveness of women artists in the history of art.
For its eighth webinar, AWARE will welcome Patricia Mayayo, Professor of Art History at the Autonomous University of Madrid, to discuss the following question: “Was Spain ‘really different’? Women, art and feminism at the end of Francoism”. In this webinar Patricia Mayayo will present the impact of the second wave of feminism in Spanish art of the 1970s. In particular, she will discuss the complexities faced by women artists in countries such as Portugal, Argentina or Brazil, which were under dictatorial regimes at the time, highlighting the need for a feminist perspective decentered from Anglo-American experiences.
This webinar will be moderated by Maura Reilly, curator, art writer and head of the TEAM program for AWARE.
