AWARE launches 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 third webinar, AWARE will host Tal Dekel, Head of the Visual Literacy Studies Program, Kibbutzim College of Education and Arts, Tel Aviv (Israel), on the subject: « Common Differences – Contemporary Feminist Art in Israel, an Intersectional Analysis ». The webinar will address the unique circumstances of the emergence of feminist art in Israel: though it is currently thriving, creating a vibrant and diverse field, it remained virtually absent until the 1990s, while it could be seen worldwide since the 1970s. The discussion and analysis will focus on the contemporary particularities within the context of the ethno-national state of Israel.
This webinar will be moderated by Maura Reilly, curator, art writer and head of the TEAM program for AWARE.
