ROUND TABLE ON THE ROLE OF WOMEN IN CATALAN ART
Catalonia Foundation La Pedrera
On February 29, Bonart Cultural presented issue 198 of the bonart magazine at the Catalunya La Pedrera Foundation with a round table that covered the theme of the monograph: “Silent history. Feminine art to make silences speak”. The round table, moderated by Beatriz García, editor-in-chief of bonart magazine, included the intervention of Montse Badia, co-founder and director of A* Desk; Stella Rahola Matutes, artist and Marta Lacambra, general director of the Catalunya La Pedrera Foundation. The talk addressed the role of women in art in recent decades from the point of view of criticism, management and artistic creation. Precariousness, lack of representation and the effort to expand the representation of gender and genres in the sector were key aspects on which the talk revolved. The event was attended by a large group of collaborators from bonart magazine, gallery owners and other professionals in the sector such as Conxita Oliver, Ramon Casalé, Jesús Martínez Clarà, Aina Mercader, Beatriz Niño, Natàlia Chocarro, Benito Padilla and Lidia Penelo, among others.
