PROJECT

The Italian Feminist Photography project sets out to analyse the contribution of women to the history of Italian photography, within a framework of the progressive spread of demands for feminist emancipation and identity, according to the most recent perspectives offered by gender and feminist studies. The reflection will also be extended to practices that, outside of any militant positions, helped to underline a specific policy of constructing the female imagination and different self-assertion strategies. The project aims to define and promote a study of Italian female photography that can highlight conceptual and theoretical feminist practices in the period running from the 19th century through to the end of the 1980s.
