Magazzino Italian Art presented a free, day-long symposium on Saturday, April 27, with five leading scholars of feminism and art history, celebrating the recent publication of the essay collection Now We Have Seen: Women and Art in 1970s Italy.
The in-person event was live streamed here on Saturday, April 27th from 11:30 a.m.–5:00 p.m.
Exploring multiple issues in the artistic, social, and political currents of the period and their continuing resonance today, Now We Have Seen: Women and Art in 1970s Italy is the product of a research project initiated by the Bibliotheca Hertziana – Max Planck Institute for Art History in Rome, supported by the Italian Council’s Directorate-General for Contemporary Creativity within the Italian Ministry of Culture, with scientific organization by Giorgia Gastaldon.
In collaboration with these institutions, Magazzino offered the public the opportunity to meet all contributors to the book—the editor of the book Giorgia Gastaldon and the authors Silvia Bottinelli, Maria Bremer, Lara Conte, and Raffaella Perna—and attend presentations of their research from 11:30 am to 5:00 pm in the museum’s Robert Olnick Pavilion.
There was question-and-answer sessions at the end of both the morning and afternoon sessions, with a lunch break.
