IntroductionAgainst culture: Feminism and art in postwar Italy

Correções, interrogatórios e políticas de intercâmbio local/global na crítica de arte feminista

“…8 The questions about legacies and "firsts" remain to be interrogated as well as a better and more complex picture of transmission and exchange of models. New scholarship on Carla Lonzi, for example, has pointed to how feminism transformed her writing in 1970, moving her away from an art criticism of dialogue, encounter and conversation to political activism (VENTRELLA and ZAPPERI, 2022). Her critic/curator peers, Romana Loda (MASOERO, 2020), Anne Marie Sauzeau-Boetti (1976) and Mirella Bentivoglio (POHL, 1985) each found a different basis for feminist writing and organisation of exhibitions for women artists in the early 1970s, emphasising minimalism, abstraction/ conceptualism and women's subjectivity.…”
