Project title: Female presences in contemporary art in Sardinia from the post World War II period to the present day

The aim of the project is to recognise the presence of women in contemporary art in Sardinia from the period after World War II to the present day, and to place them within the trends, groups and artistic movements on the island, nationally and internationally. The research will focus specifically on the artists who marked the historical moment in which the richness of Sardinian craftsmanship profoundly inspired contemporary art and design. Part of the work will focus on the fundamental role of female art workers, gallery owners, art historians, museum directors and curators, in order to highlight their fundamental role in the contemporary Sardinian art system. The research aims to encourage gender studies and refine methodological approaches, so as to be able to also map the places of the presence of female figures in art, integrating the valorisation of legacies – in the case of disappeared female artists or gallery owners – of the archives and artists’ studios that are in danger of disappearing.
