Professor Giuliana Pieri (School of Modern Languages, Literatures, and Cultures) and Dr Emanuela Patti (Senior Researcher, AHRC project Interdisciplinary Italy) will run a creative workshop which will focus on Italian visual poetry and the work of female practitioners who in the 1960s challenged contemporary gender politics in their provocative use of collage. A short presentation on Italian women visual poets from the 1960s will be the starting point for a creative session that will focus on the role of women in contemporary politics and society.
The event will take place at Bourne Lecture Theatre 2, Royal Holloway, 1-2pm, as part of a series of workshops and lectures organised to celebrate international women’s art and activism. It will ask: (how) can art change the world? Its focus in particular is on women’s voices in French, German, Italian, and Spanish-speaking contexts. Please find the full programme of the day here.
