The Insitute of Art History âG.Oprescuâ of
the Romanian Academy is the organizer of the first international session of
talks focused on feminist art theory and cultural analysis and brings
together art historians and theoreticians from Romania and other cultural areas
interested in art theories and practices and culture from a feminist
perspective. 

Dismissed
as a âlocalâ event and a marginal issue, feminism in art and culture imposed,
contrariwise, as an unprecedented phenomenon with global extension, with
direct, radical or moderate impact according to the different context of each
cultural area. 

Feminist
art and theory had a groundbreaking impact and effect in art history from the 1960s.
Feminist art theory has proved to be extremely resourceful and opened new ways
of approaching the artistic phenomenon. 

The session designed by the Institute aims
to create the possibility of a dialogue
among theoreticians from diffrent cultural areas, to establish contacts between
Romanian and foreign curators, critics, professors, theoreticians and artists. Comparing perspectives on feminist issues and discussing ways and means to
explore art history and culture through a relevant feminist discourse can
contribute to transforming the local contemporary attitude towards feminist
art theory and practice in a natural environment of discussion.

From
approaches on womenâs contribution to art and culture or the reevaluation of
womenâs representation in terms of gender stereotypes within culture and
various periods of art history, to actual feminist art criticism in the current
state of feminist discourse, to approaching theories/histories or marginal
histories of feminist art practices, this session aims to be an introduction to
the issues of feminist art history and a platform for theoretical debate.

The
different forms of analysis are to be placed in relation to a variety of
feminist theories of gender, politics, experience, social and cultural mores,
historical understanding, different methods of feminist art criticism and discussion
of different working practices and cultural concerns.

This
event is meant to underline the importance of the feminist discourse in art and
culture mostly today when we are questioning its relevance.
