Starting June 15th, you’ll be able to see virtually, the work of the artists Cristina Toledo, Sandra Paula Fernández, Marina Vargas, Agnes Essonti and Alejandra Glez in the virtual exhibition called ‘A transversal feminist score’ (In Spanish: ‘Una partitura feminista transversal’) with the curatorship of two women: Semíramis González (who’s also MIA Program Director Europe) and Paula Seoane, whose research lines addresses the challenge against the traditionally imposed patriarchal canon, the ‘loss’ as possibility of new creations, the denunciation of the destruction of our natural environment and the ‘everyday-life’ as a space of construction of identity.
The variety of works presented virtually inside the MIA Anywhere virtual museum (miaanywhere.com) also show us a vast selection of female creation, from performance to photography, digital college to painting.
This is a score *referred as the typical music sheets, with several voices, with a melody that gathers the creators, from broad perspectives but all of them committed to their work as artists, wondering how we got here and what structural elements have conditioned us in the women we are now.
How have women been represented in history? How do we want to be represented now? What is patriarchal beauty and how to dynamite it, to enable the visibility of women’s bodies without that typical sexist connotation that the press and mainstream media is especially good to follow? How have we coexisted with our planet? Some of these questions are for those who are expressed through these art works. The answer lies in who looks and who wonders beyond.
