The Women Artists Shows.Salons.Societies project was launched in 2017 as a collaboration between Artl@s and AWARE. Combining AWARE’s ambitions to restore the presence of 20th-century women artists in the history of art, and Artl@s’s desire to provide scholars with the data and tools necessary to question the canonical art historical narratives through quantitative and cartographic analyses, we decided to work on group exhibitions of women artists.
Our first ambition is to build a community of scholars and work together to develop a common terminology and even possibly a common and consistent methodology to study these events, because the ones used in the field of exhibition history are inadequate.None of these exhibitions “made art history” or can be thought as “exemplary,”and the discursive silence that surrounds them require art historians to come-up with new questions, new research strategies, and new discourses.
Through the programs we organized and will organize, and through the tools and resources we are making available to the public, including this issue of the Artl@s Bulletin, we also want to contribute to a global history of all-women exhibitions from the 1870s to the 1970s.

L’Esposizione internazionale femminile di Belle Arti (Torino, 1910-1911; 1913). Note su genere, arte e professione in Italia all’inizio del XX secolo

Résumé
Il contributo intende ricostruire la vicenda delle Esposizioni internazionali femminili di Belle Arti (1910-11; 1913), prima manifestazione artistica di taglio internazionale riservata esclusivamente alle donne a essere organizzata in Italia. Promosse a Torino dalla rivista «La Donna», le due rassegne si svolsero in un momento storicamente determinante per l’affermazione di un nuovo status delle artiste, contribuendo a dare visibilità e legittimità al fenomeno della produzione artistica femminile. La ricerca ripercorre, sulla scorta soprattutto di documenti d’epoca e fonti d’archivio, la storia e gli esiti di questa innovativa esperienza, evidenziando la complessità delle reti istituzionali, sociali, di patronage e matronage che concorsero alla sua genesi e al suo successo.
Francesca Lombardi, storica dell’arte specializzata presso l’Università degli Studi di Siena, ha collaborato come ricercatrice con l’Università Roma Tre e il C.N.R. Attualmente lavora per la Sovrintendenza Capitolina ai Beni Culturali. Nell’ambito delle sue ricerche sulla cultura figurativa tra XIX e XX secolo, ha approfondito in particolare il tema della produzione artistica femminile.
