Women, (Be)coming II / Reading Simone de Beauvoir | 26 April 2019 | UGM Studio, Maribor, Slovenia | Photo: Sara Rezar
The exhibition Women, (Be)coming II is a presentation of artworks that were developed as a part of artistic residence Wom@arts and are rooted in the fields of printmaking, illustration and digital art. The artist created as a response to a millstone work of Simone de Beauvoir The Second Sex, which celebrates its 70 year anniversary this year. Their works are the mix of their diverse media, cultural and generational experiences. They raise the questions of “woman’s nature” - her belonging in the social construct, her own history or “herstory” and her future plans. The exhibition represents 16 female artist from 10 European cities. To find out a little more about the background of the creations we've organized a discussion with the digital media artists the day before the opening. Shortly after the conversation, a workshop, where we will make short videos with our smartphones and tablets, will fallow. The workshop will be inspired by the question of a female role in this day and age.
