Until 21 May, the Fundaci\u00f3n Casa de M\u00e9xico<\/strong> presents the exhibition Luchadoras,<\/em><\/strong> mujeres en la colecci\u00f3n del Museo Universitario Arte Contempor\u00e1neo (MUAC),<\/em><\/strong> comprising 46 works by 30 women artists from different generations and geographies. It includes works produced in media as diverse as painting, sculpture, drawing, photography, installation and video recordings.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The MUAC, part of the National Autonomous University of Mexico, houses the largest public collection of contemporary Mexican art in Latin America. This exhibition is an opening to other narratives based on sensibilities that have been erased, denied or demerited by the male aesthetic. In their pieces, the artists reflect on the complexity of inhabiting the female body, they make violence visible and question the constructions of gender identity.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The title of the exhibition pays homage to Lourdes Grobet<\/strong> and her famous series of photographs of wrestling, while at the same time proposing an allegory of the constant battles women face for equal opportunities and for reorienting the subject matter, spirit and expectations of culture. Curated by Pilar Garc\u00eda,<\/strong> the exhibition takes a chronological tour from a gender perspective, which proposes to make visible and critically reflect on the history of Mexican art, from 1952 to the present day, taking as its starting point the production of women artists in modern and contemporary art.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n This exhibition analyses the most recent history of Mexican art from a chronological perspective and from a gender perspective. The starting point is the production of women artists in modern and contemporary art who denounce violence against women, question their practices in the everyday world and challenge the traditional roles and spaces assigned to them.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Participating artists: Laura Anderson Barbata, Yolanda Andrade, Marcela Armas, Maris Bustamente, M\u00f3nica Castillo, Helen Escobedo, Mar\u00eda Ezcurra, Claudia Fern\u00e1ndez, Maya Goded, Lourdes Grobet, Silvia Gruner, Gabriela Guti\u00e9rrez Ovalle, Yolanda Guti\u00e9rrez, Graciela Iturbide, Magdalena Jitrik, Perla Krauze, Myra Landau, Magali Lara, Mar\u00eda Jos\u00e9 de la Macorra, Teresa Margolles, M\u00f3nica Mayer, Martha Pacheco, Marta Palau, Dulce Pinz\u00f3n, Carla Rippey, Graciela Sacco, Maruch S\u00e1ntiz G\u00f3mez, Melanie Smith, Rafael Ortega, Sof\u00eda T\u00e1boas <\/strong>and Lorena Wolffer.<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The Fundaci\u00f3n Casa de M\u00e9xico presents the exhibition Luchadoras, mujeres en la colecci\u00f3n del Museo Universitario Arte Contempor\u00e1neo (MUAC).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":50843,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jnews-multi-image_gallery":[],"jnews_single_post":[],"jnews_primary_category":[],"jnews_social_meta":[],"jnews_override_counter":[],"jnews_post_split":[],"footnotes":""},"categories":[178,176],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-79291","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-culture-art","category-leisure"],"yoast_head":"\n
