In 2020, AWARE launched a free webinar, open to all, in order to meet and exchange with members of the TEAM programme, as well as guest personalities working for a better inclusiveness of women artists in art history.
For its tenth webinar, AWARE will welcome Erin McCutcheon, Assistant Professor of Art History at Lycoming, USA, to discuss the following topic: “Reclamation, Revision, Resistance: Histories of Feminism and Art in Mexico City”. In this webinar Erin McCutcheon will discuss the interconnected and intergenerational histories of feminist activist, artistic, and art historical practices emerging out of Mexico City from the 1970s to the present day. She will particularly focus on the ongoing and visible presence of these interventions in order to undo notions of their marginality and assert their significance to histories of art and activism, both in Mexico and beyond its borders.
This webinar will be moderated by Maura Reilly, art critic, curator and TEAM programme manager for AWARE.
Practical information
The webinars take place every month on a different day and time depending on the guest. Registration is required to access the meeting.
Webinar #10 is scheduled for Monday 21 March 2022 at 5pm Paris time. This webinar will be held in English.
Free (subject to availability), reservation is mandatory.
Webinars will be recorded and posted on the AWARE website.
