ARTE |
The gender equity seem to be an important subject in current Russia.
Soviet policy is steel going on underlining equal right for men and
women (as happens in several worldwide States) even if contradictions
still happen. Gender theory, as instrument of the socio-cultural
analysis, has started to spread in Russia during the perestroika time,
the period of consolidation of democratic freedoms, pluralism and
openness policy. Russian gender art start growing in the early 90’s
when first feminine organization started working in the field of
humanitarian research. The first feminine art exhibitions have been
held thanks to women art group, during the period of rising public
interest to the gender theory, in the 2000ies, and artists as Anna
Alchuk or Natalia Kamenetskaya, the art theorists Olesya Turkina and
Alla Mitrofanova have played a main role. Ginving examples: Women of
Russia (1997), Russian Feminist (1999), Borders of Gender project and
Аnamnesis Lapsus Memoriae (1999-2000), Self-portrait of a Woman Artist
(2002) sould be considered as the result of this self-determination
process. For Olesya Turkina, one of the most important Russian curator,
a questions to understand woman’s role, should be “What do You want
from me?” in a world where women could be still divided into categories
as doll, androgynous, mother… Tomorrow it will start ŽEN d’АРТ, The
