Last Saturday, May 18, on the occasion of the International Museum Day, in the bookstore The Fabulous Madrid 's an editatona was dedicated to works of art made by women to make visible the absence of content of this type in Wikipedia. From 11:00 a.m., participants and organizers gathered in one of the bookstore's activity rooms to talk about the current situation of women in the art world.

We carry out this activity in collaboration with the group Art+Feminism (@artandfem), an international community working to bridging information gaps on gender, feminism and the arts on the Internet, starting with Wikipedia.

Thanks to them, we were able to give the participants of the editatona the book Neither muses nor submissives: An Illustrated Review of Western Art History with a Feminist Perspective from Helena Sotoca (@femme.sapiens).


> Expert

As in each editatona, we invited an expert in the subject that we were going to deal with. On this occasion, we have the Spanish-Argentine multidisciplinary artist Gabriela Bettini working with painting, drawing, video and installation. It has been recognized by combining pictorial research with a commitment to human rights, as well as for emphasizing the distance between official history and personal accounts.

Gabriela told us about how women are in the art world from her own experience and we reflected with her on the need to make ourselves visible and recognize ourselves also in the artistic field.
