The presence of women artists: historical and curatorial questions

Abstract

Reflecting on the absence of women artists in art museum exhibition spaces, the article seeks to understand curatorial practices that aim to showcase the artistic productions of women artists. Using the theoretical framework of Linda Nochlin, Maura Reilly, Amélia Jones and Whitney Chadwick, we present ways of thinking about these curatorships/exhibitions, which are so important for the visibility and openness of the museum space to new narratives.
