Great Women in Arts, Montemor-o-Novo

 



Activity developed in mobility to Portugal "Great Women in Arts".


"Being an artist is hard.


by Emília Isaías



Gender inequality is an inescapable reality of many worlds, and in the arts it is no exception.


Through the activity "Great Women in Arts", students were exposed to the choice of a work of Portuguese artist and challenged to reproduce their own interpretation of the artist. The choice was based without prior knowledge of the gender of the author, only in the end were revealed the authors of the works.


The students did not consider their choices based on the author’s gender, it was spontaneous choice, only choosing what they found easier to reproduce.


Artists are Artists... That's it!"

"Τραγουδάμε δίχως Φόβο”, a Greek transposition of Vivir Quintana’s “Canción sin Miedo” by femininities of the Open Orchestra “Canción sin Miedo” by Vivir Quintana is a landmark song against femicides that are committed daily in Mexico and in Latin America more broadly. The composer, Vivir Quintana, sang and recorded this song in a highly symbolic move, together with mothers from Oaxaca, Mexico, whose daughters were victims of femicide.  Inspired by Vivir Quintana’s powerful lyrics, femininities of the Open Orchestra created a Greek transposition of the song in an effort to stand together and stand up against patriarchy and the violence it reproduces. The song became part of a wider call by the Open Orchestra for a big music performance for International Women’s Day 2022 where the Open Orchestra, along with the Open Feminist Assembly, Mov, Oistrogones, the 8th March Assembly, Meliries, the Network of Women Writers against Gender Violence and Femicides “i foni tis” and many others u
