Women have always written art history and worked on eye-level with their male contemporaries. But despite the fact that female artists‘ works have always sold well and they always shaped artists’ circles, up to this day women play only minor roles in the canon of art and if they are remembered at all, it is as "exceptions". Marian López Fernández-Cao, Professor of Art Education at the Universidad Complutense de Madrid, researcher and expert in art and feminism, will give a lecture on the erasure of women in Art.
Presentation by Diego Mas Trelles, Festival's Co-director
The special program Lost Women in Art screenings will follow.
Subsequent debate with the public after the last screening.
