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 eleventh webinar, and first in Spanish AWARE will welcome María Laura Rosa, Professor at the University of Buenos Aires, Argentina to discuss the following topic: “Capturar lo imperceptible. Fotografía y deseo en Alicia D’Amico”. In this webinar María Laura Rosa will present her research on the Argentinean photographer Alicia D’Amico (1933-2001), an important feminist activist involved in the women’s movement in Argentina. Between the late 1980s and early 1990s, she developed a photographic series in which she reflected on female identity and, in particular, on love between women. Her research is radically original in the panorama of Argentine photography.

This webinar will be moderated by Nina Volz, International Development manager at AWARE.
