Autoritratti. Iscrizioni del femminile nell'arte italiana contemporanea a broad-ranging, comprehensive collective show dedicated to the relationship between women and art in Italy in recent decades will be inaugurated at the MAMbo on 11th May.
In comparison with other contexts (and with the United States and Britain in particular), Italy presents an anomaly: between the end of the 1960s and the 1970s, there was no development of an art explicitly connoted as feminist, and nor of a critical debate confronting art and feminism. Despite this, it is possible to find numerous traces of a widespread move to give significance to gender difference in Italy too, and this is documented in the exhibition through a wide range of positions and practices.
The MAMbo work group comprises: Elisa Maria Cerra, Liliana Fenu, Eva Fuchs, Elena Gerla, Carlotta Guerra, Monica Guidi, Donatella Lombardo, Alessia Masi, Angela Pelliccioni, Giulia Pezzoli, Francesca Rebecchi, Anna Rossi, Sabrina Samorì, Elisa Schiavina, Barbara Secci, Giorgia Benedetta Soncin, Nicoletta Tomba, Giusi Vecchi and Uliana Zanetti.
