Women in the Arts: Feminisms, Narratives, and Inventions of Self

This program, designed by Anelise Valls, proposes a reflection, based on the theme of this edition of the Festival and through lectures and workshops, on the way in which the history of art studies and narrates the presence and artistic practice of women in the modern and contemporary eras.

The program will question the invisibility of their performances, as well as their subversions of the traditional canon of art and their ruptures with a hegemonic historiography.

In addition, writing, watercolor and embroidery workshops are planned with professionals working in areas that address issues of race, ethnicity, sexual orientation and the multiple feminisms and their agendas in contemporary times.

Registration fee is R$10 per activity.

July 1st, Monday, from 2pm to 5pm

Photography Embroidery Workshop: Black Poetics, Memory and Freedom - Miti Mendoça

Free Workshop, Lupicínio Rodrigues Municipal Cultural Center (Av. Erico Veríssimo, 307, Menino Deus)

Black Feminism is a movement led by Black women that addresses racial and social issues beyond gender. Confronting violence defines the construction of self-esteem, affection, and empowerment for Black women, who suffer three forms of oppression: racism, sexism, and class prejudice. The workshop will explore the history of Black Feminism, drawing on the thinking of Black intellectuals who contributed to the conception of this movement, such as Djamila Ribeiro, Bell Hooks, Audre Lorde, Kimberly Cranshaw, and Lélia Gonzalez.

As a practical activity, you'll enjoy photo embroidery. Independent visual artist and writer Mitti Mendonça will share her journey and photographs of Black women in her family, as a way to connect generations and share ancestral treasures. Each participant will be free to make changes to the photos through words, drawings, and patterns. Basic freehand embroidery stitches will be taught. No prior embroidery or sewing knowledge is required.

July 1st, Monday, from 7pm to 10pm

Lecture - Art and Black Feminism - Izis Abreu and Considerations on Lesbian Artists and Their Productions - Lívia Auler

Free Workshop, Lupicínio Rodrigues Municipal Cultural Center (Av. Erico Veríssimo, 307, Menino Deus)

The first part of the evening will feature a talk by Izis Abreu, who aims to establish a dialogue between Black feminist issues and a specific work by artist Maria Lídia Magliani. From there, she will reflect on different forms of feminism, addressing the works of important intellectuals such as Bell Hooks, Angela Davis, Sueli Carneiro, Djamila Ribeiro, and other figures in intersectional feminist thought.

The second part of the evening will feature a presentation by Lívia Auler, who will address lesbian artists who have been marginalized in traditional art history narratives. She will first consider the exclusion of women artists in the historiography of visual arts, followed by a presentation of lesbian theorists who discuss the position of lesbian women in a heteronormative and patriarchal society—leading us to an understanding of the double invisibility of lesbian artists. The second part will feature presentations of several modern and contemporary artists who have focused their lives and works on issues of lesbianism.

July 2, Tuesday, from 2 pm to 5 pm

Creative Writing Workshop - Ways of Narrating: Sharing - Natalia Borges Polesso

Free Workshop, Lupicínio Rodrigues Municipal Cultural Center (Av. Erico Veríssimo, 307, Menino Deus)

The writing process begins in silence, in the shared gaze, in what can be recognized first within and only later in words. Storytelling is not a solitary act; it is collective. How can we tell and share our stories? This is our guiding question.

July 2, Tuesday, from 7 pm to 10 pm

Workshop - Painting: Cartographies of the Female Body - Lilian Maus Free Atelier, Lupicínio Rodrigues Municipal Cultural Center (Av. Erico Veríssimo, 307, Menino Deus)

Practical watercolor and gouache exercises creating a cartography of the female body based on references from art history.

Registration for this workshop does not include individual materials for watercolor and gouache work.

July 3, Wednesday, from 2 pm to 5 pm

Lecture - Women to the Left of the Seine: Revolving Margins, Rediscovering Stories - Daniela Kern and Thiane Nunes

Free Workshop, Lupicínio Rodrigues Municipal Cultural Center (Av. Erico Veríssimo, 307, Menino Deus)

Thiane Nunes will address the study that looks at both the history and production of modern art, which is deeply marked by the intersections of life and art, the crossroads of memory and history, myths and biographies.

The diverse productions of women who were writers, editors, painters, photographers, actresses and singers will be discussed - and their lesser brilliance when compared to the recollection of the production of male artists, providing discoveries from the perspective of a larger study on the misogyny that we inherited and that was also markedly present among Western artistic and cultural circles between 1900 and 1940.

These women had experiences that differed significantly from those of their husbands, brothers, and male modernist colleagues. Thus, we will explore the traces and little-remembered stories of the communities of women artists who lived on the Left Bank, as we call it in Paris—the southern half of the city, in relation to the course of the Seine River, as opposed to the Right Bank—the Right Bank.

Daniela Kern will discuss the other half of the avant-garde revisited: modern women artists in a global historiography of art. In 1980, Italian art historian Lea Vergine organized a major exhibition, which resulted in a seminal book, *The Other Half of the Avant-Garde 1910-1940 - Painters and Sculptors in the Historical Avant-Garde Movements*, in which she provides an intensive survey of women artists who participated in the European avant-garde movements and were left out of official art historiography. Our purpose here is to present and analyze part of the female canon proposed by Vergine, in light of the current trend in global art historiography, which implies the inclusion of artists from other regions, such as those from Latin America, which we will focus on.

July 3, Wednesday, from 7 pm to 10 pm

Lecture - Contemporary Approaches to Feminist Art - Anelise Valls and Paula Trusz

Free Workshop, Lupicínio Rodrigues Municipal Cultural Center (Av. Erico Veríssimo, 307, Menino Deus)

Anelise Valls and Paula Trusz propose a review of perspectives and texts on the relationship between art history and feminism. From this perspective, revisiting the foundations of what is known as feminist art historiography, they will analyze texts and artistic productions that address feminist art history and its developments. The focus is on the history of the disciplinarization of feminist art history, as well as the history of meta-narratives within feminist art history (periodization, canons, and the evolution of styles).

Resident Artists Nosotras Proponemos

Nosotras Proponemos, the Permanent Assembly of Art Workers in Argentina, unites artists, curators, researchers, writers, gallery owners, and art workers who subscribe to and carry forward a 37-point commitment to feminist practices.

The commitment to feminist practices aims to raise awareness of the patriarchal and sexist behaviors that dominate the art world and regulate our positions. This commitment is primarily related to the historical exclusion and devaluation of women artists, but its proposals can be embraced by women, men, or any other non-normative identity. It is proposed as a guide for personal and institutional practices that we invite you to follow.

Since 2017, Nosotras Proponemos has been developing initiatives in museums, marches, institutions, and art competition regulations to address the radical lack of female representation in the Argentine art world, where female artists represent no more than 30%. This lack of representation is not limited to the Argentine art world: it extends internationally to the powerful centers of the United States and Europe, and is also found in Asia, Africa, and throughout Latin America, including Brazil.

Our activism is territorial when we develop actions in the art world and at the same time are linked to the transversal agenda of feminism, when we actively participate in the campaign for the legalization of abortion, in the fight against poverty, against femicide and violence against women, against the extractive policies of global capital, or when we actively call for an international women's strike on March 8, 2018 and 2019.

As members of the art world, we participate in a global movement of activism and develop initiatives that bring visibility to the extraordinary and silenced work of women artists. Nosotras Proponemos develops multiple initiatives (posters, museum interventions, banners, projections in urban spaces, and activism in the city) to make this erasure visible and launch policies that promote awareness of women's brilliant contributions to the art world.

During the 33rd Art Festival, Nosotras Prononemos will be carrying out joint initiatives with artists from Porto Alegre. Three artists from Rio Grande do Sul were selected as the basis for this initiative: Claudia Paim, Heloisa Schneiders, and Maria Magliani. This selection process began identifying local artists and, thus, building bridges for future initiatives.

All for all!

Lecture - Cylene Dallegrave - Conversation with Fernanda Veríssimo about the first books printed in Latin America. Atelier Livre, Lupicínio Rodrigues Municipal Cultural Center (Av. Erico Veríssimo, 307, Menino Deus).

Among the many crafts and arts practiced in the Jesuit-Guarani missions, printing is one of the least known. Between 1700 and 1727, missionary workshops printed at least 29 titles, including pamphlets, religious books, and grammars. Some copies of these books have survived and, although rare, can still be found today in public and private libraries in Latin America, the United States, and Europe. These books, written largely in the Guarani language, followed the typographical conventions of the time and, despite the difficulty of production, are an example of the ingenuity of Jesuits and Guarani indigenous people who created printing presses and movable type and printed, far from colonial cities, some of the first books in South America.

In addition to the vignettes and ornamental details present in almost all the books, at least one of these titles, from 1705, features a series of engravings based on illustrations from contemporary European books. We will discuss the typographic production of the missions, showing these engravings and other details of the illustrations found in the extant titles.

Clau Paranhos - Creation of Ugly Dolls

Free Workshop, Lupicínio Rodrigues Municipal Cultural Center (Av. Erico Veríssimo, 307, Menino Deus).

Ugly Dolls creation workshop, using fabrics, scraps, and various materials, and a theoretical seminar with studio practice. Art and play, based on artists and thinkers, as a way to question and resist cultural body standards to live a full—and fun—life.

The Ugly Doll Workshops are group experiences/artistic actions/happenings that have been held since 2016 with audiences of different ages and in different locations, in which Clau Paranhos proposes the creation of dolls in a spontaneous and intuitive way.

Through workshops, the artist and educator analyzes and explores the possibilities of the theme while simultaneously enabling participants to develop their own language and personal expression. To this end, she encourages dialogue about visual culture and the playfulness of this object, fostering a desire and willingness to create. Play is a child's first connection with the world.

Because they imitate beings, whether people or animals, dolls are emotional toys that invite introspection, where we practice self-care and care for others. Would the Ugly Dolls, in their uniqueness, encourage these participants to open up to their own desires? Does not having the obligation to get things right, to "do it well," bring with it the freedom to produce without prescriptions, knowing that one's own production is meaningful? The Open Workshop proposes an environment for reflection and collective creation where the artist will be available for this dialogue, through conversations and moments of production that will result in an unpredictable substrate.

During the activity, students from the Ugly Dolls course in 2019/1 will present their work to the public.

Maria Luciana Firpo: Photographic Memory - Ceramics + Engraving

Free Workshop, Lupicínio Rodrigues Municipal Cultural Center (Av. Erico Veríssimo, 307, Menino Deus)

The workshop is an extension of the Ceramics + Printmaking course, which covers various image transfer processes in ceramics. The Festival proposes the collective construction of a mural incorporating one of the digital image transfer processes onto ceramic tiles. The theme to be developed will be discussed and chosen by the group.

It will be a collective work, constructing and composing an image that will be transferred to the ceramic plates of the mural, from the creation of the image to the transfer - thus creating a memory, printed on the mural, of this collective encounter.

Photo on ceramics is a printing system adapted with ceramic procedures that provides a broad and multidisciplinary artistic discourse by combining different analog and digital processes.

In this exercise, in addition to composing images of the present that passes through us, singular memories will also be staged. Decomposing, composing, assembling, cutting, and pasting will be operations to construct something agreed upon from a material both strange and familiar: the dream.

After the workshop, on July 3rd, the publication Da Janela para Dentro, produced by students of the Image and Word in Narrative Constructions course from 2019/1, will also be launched.

Live Cinema Performance - Nuno Ramos Cinemateca Capitólio Petrobras 9Rua Demétrio Ribeiro, 1085, Historic Center)

Cinema Ao Vivo is a project, conceived by visual artist Nuno Ramos (1960), which starts from a paradox – uniting the theatrical element with filmic phantasmagoria, giving stage presence to an actor in a film, uniting them in front of the audience.

We invited actress Helena Ignez (1942) to spend a few sessions over 24 hours interacting with a production she starred in, Copacabana Mon Amour, by Rogério Sganzela, 1970. The actress could eat, sit, rest, do nothing. She could repeat lines. She could shout, ask to leave. She could applaud. She could boo. Her very existence shifts the entire meaning of the film, updating and opening up what had become definitive in the film's editing.

The audience will watch a film "accompanied" by its protagonist, observing that production of light and sound paradoxically fused with the live scene. This protagonist, in turn, will have the opportunity to "settle accounts" with a film that profoundly impacted their career.
