Pintores i puntaires

What do we know about women artists in Catalonia from the late 19th century and the first half of the 20th century? Were there really only a few who devoted themselves to artistic trades? Where did they gather, and which spaces supported them and recognised them as artists? Which trades were feminised and therefore relegated to second-class arts? This is a research and reinterpretation project initiated by Anna Fando Morell in 2022 based on the "Crònica biogràfica" file by art historian Josep F. Ràfols, held at the Research and Archive Centre of the MNAC. The project seeks to reverse the historical erasure of these artists and recover their place in collective memory. By Anna Fando and the MNAC Archive as part of the Inventariables circuit of the ICUB. Complementary activities: Opening and guided tour: Thursday 17 December, 19:00. Art action. Visit to the MNAC archive: Friday 18 December, 11:00. Itinerary: 'Un passeig de dones al Cementiri de Sarrià': Monday 21 December, 11:00.
