Las disidentes: mujeres artistas cuencanas en el periodo 1975-1985

Abstract

Faced with a shortage of specialized monographs on the topic and as a way to protect the legacy of women artists and transmit it, with an approach that comes from artistic critical cultural studies. This research focuses on the analysis of the presence of cuencanas women as artists, in a period between 1975-1985. Previously it is nearly impossible to find them, because of the anonymity that sheltered its production, what does not deny, of course, their presence since colonial times and even in pre-Columbian societies. In turn, it will analyze the trajectory of three women artists of the aforementioned period such as: Soledad Burbano, Josefina Flandoli, Ruth Maldonado. The term dissident will be used to focus on the self-assertion of women facing an ideology completely patriarchal that he has made invisible, subdued and even nullified, in a world where history has been written by the dominant gender. Also will analyze them conditions economic, social, political, historical and cultural where them women cuencanas produce their art.
