#PorQueNoMeVes is a project to expand and make visible art made by women organized by MIA ART COLLECTION, led by its Founder and Director, Alejandra Castro Rioseco, in collaboration with ARTEINFORMADO @arteinformado . More than 300 women of 23 nationalities responded to the online appeal and, for this March 8, on the occasion of International Women’s Day, we have selected 15 of them for this curatorial piece that is available now for you to see inside our MIA AnyWhere Virtual Museum.
During February 11 and 24, 2021, any female artist in the world, directly or through her gallery, was invited to participate for free with one of her works in #PorqueNoMeVes by MIA ART COLLECTION. The hashtag of the call presents a double reading: On the one hand, it works as a questioning or questioning of the invisibility of women in art and, at the same time, it acts as an exhortation or appeal to see the work of this women creators.
The call has brought together the work of more than 300 women from 23 countries (United States, Cuba, Brazil, Mexico, Chile, Bolivia, Colombia, Venezuela, Argentina, Uruguay, Ecuador, Peru, United Kingdom, Holland, Germany, Ukraine, Serbia, Bulgaria, Romania, France, Italy, Portugal and Spain). Now, on the occasion of the International Women’s Day, we publish this curatorial piece with a selection of 15 of them, curated by Natalia Alonso Arduengo @natalia_alar
The exhibition is available NOW at the MIA Anywhere Virtual Museum, strongly committed to collecting and making the work of women artists visible and which currently brings together more than 1,000 works. During these days, we will present you the work of these women, but you can now go to miaanywhere.com as well as arteinformado.com to see this incredible collaboration.
