Desde África a Latinoamérica : encuentro diacrónico de mujeres pintoras

Abstract

In this article, we propose to explain a situation that presents some complexity because it refers to different levels, all of which are given off to relate the work of women painters which, despite being produced in different times and contexts such geographically distant between them, they share certain biographical circumstances. All in all, we aim to link here all the limitations that they found in their respective artistic paths, it means, exposing their lives, something crucial in the path taken by each of them, from Peru in Latin America, via Canary Islands until South Africa. To this purpose we find appropriate the feminist theory. Which theory is now plural, heterogeneous, once the scheme has exceeded monolithic Eurocentric, of the initial feminism new codes and change the hegemonic discourse. Opens the way for minorities in particular, we are interested in highlighting the importance of autobiography to legitimize marginalized spaces, mostly in the domestic field. What we want, taking into account diversity, is to meet the specific testimony to trace the traits that unifies the experience of a Latin American painter, one of the Canary Islands and Africa.
