AMUM CONFERENCES

A history of appearances at the Prado Museum

Dr. Francisco Hidalgo Fernandez

University of Malaga – SEHISP

The paintings in the Museo del Prado -an artistic recreation of clothing and attire over the years- accompany Francisco Hidalgo’s ideas on the evolution of appearances and on the importance of clothing as a symbol of personality and social status.

Great preview of the AMUM winter seminar, which will fascinate you.

We envision a world where all people are equal and free from discrimination. For this reason, the Graduate  Women’s Federations of Argentina, Spain and Panama have invited three professionals who will speak on ways to promote the breaking of macho and sexist stereotypes. We will discuss how to transform patriarchal masculinities by engaging men and youth and educating girls and boys based on human rights and critical analysis of gender roles.

Panellists:

Argentina: Zulema Isabel Arrupe – Architect. Secretary of Works of the Municipality of Tres Arroyos, Argentina. Mother of four children who educates in respect for equal rights, responsibilities and opportunities for all people.

Spain: Isabel Jiménez Lucena – Doctor of Medicine and Full Professor at the University of Malaga. Vice-rector for Equality, Diversity and Social Action at the University of Malaga and head of its Equality Unit.

Panama: Itzel Sayavedra – Psychologist and Family Therapist. School director and teacher at the Santa María La Antigua Catholic University (USMA – Empresarial), Panama.

Coordination:

Beatriz Saavedra – Mexican Federation of Graduate  Women

By María Dolores Cebrián Sotomayor, graduate in Art History

Artists, painters, protagonists, amateurs, muses… What was the place of women in art? With this and other questions, María Dolores Cebrián portrays that woman of the nineteen who, after the airs of freedom of the Enlightenment, returns to the historical and political changes – to her traditional position: wife, ideal mother and angel of the home or muse and passive subject if art is spoken. . In this illustrative walk, we will follow the hard journey that goes from its almost only admitted role of copiers and the attempts of recognition to the vital support and defense of art – patrons, collectors, patrons – made by the women of Spanish high society.

COMMITMENT TO NATURE AND THE SUSTAINABLE CITY

Currently, management policies for green areas in cities require a paradigm shift: we must value the benefits that nature provides us and, consequently, establish policies for the creation of a sustainable urban and peri-urban forest. Nature helps us mitigate climate change and is our ally: through proper evaluation and management of the natural flow of our city and with multidisciplinary teams we can improve our living conditions. The landscaper Rosa Ceño will talk about all this.

Talking about this topic as Dr. María Soledad Durini will do, is a passionate invitation to reflect on language, its relationship with thought and its impoverishment; to deliberate around the word, manipulation and political correctness; or to discuss the need to create inclusive ways  of expression.

Where does Mexican art go? The plastic artist Roberto Gutiérrez Currás will dive into this and other questions, with the idea of revealing the very diverse trends of the cultural panorama of Mexico, through artists – men and women – who, from diametrically opposed perspectives, design a dynamic artistic world. Undoubtedly, an attractive and revealing conference.

Very promising preview of the seminar we will teach in the fall …
On September 29th , the Doctor in Art History Julia García González will lecture us on a very special subject “Sculpture in feminine”. In it she will address us about the presence of women in sculpture as an object, as a subject and as a patron. Thus we will be able to delve into prehistoric works such as the “Venus of Willendorf”, and we will take a tour during antiquity attending fully representative works such as “La Dama de Elche” and ” La Dama de Baza” and she will present us poorly recognized sculptors such as Camile Claudet and others fully consolidated such as Louise Bourgeois. All this will run in parallel with the work carried out by great patrons such as Isabel la Católica or Mª Isabel de Braganza.

tuvimos-la-conferencia-sobre-escultura.html

After the History of Gardens seminar given by Professor José Miguel Morales, AMUM proposes to delve into this matter by taking a trip to the myth and origin of all gardens: El Edén. Known by the Persians as the cultivated and closed Garden, many mythologies have referred to it to name that locus amoenus, that idyllic and idealized place, represented by a fertile valley, from which a mighty river flows and which is located in the East , where the sun is born.
With the conference, El Edén: Jardín cultivated and closed. In the key of a woman, the theologian Begoña Cigarán will analyze the representation of paradise from the current theological interpretation to shed light on this subject that fascinates many, but which, unfortunately, continues to be interpreted in the wrong way today.

Teresa de la Parra y su Ifigenia, written in 1924, is the starting point chosen by María Teresa Medeiros-Lichem to set a date on the arduous journey of women to articulate their own voice, investigate their experiences and express themselves in a world dominated by the man. And she will do it with an exciting conference organized by AMUM, in which we will get to know the world of such valuable writers as Elena Poniatowska and Luisa Valenzuela; We will discover Paula Bombara or Karla Suárez, her aesthetics and post-memory texts; and we will face the challenge of reading Samanta Schweblin and Carla Guelfenbein. With them, with their wealth and with their language, women’s literature lives a well-deserved moment of boom and recognition.
