It’s about the position that women held in colonial Mexico and how they were expected to put up with harm from men. She writes about how all the suffering’s women face at the hands of men are written off because they are women. She became a nun in order to pursue her art and education, which was a freer alternative to marriage.

She rejected political art that was prevalent at the time and instead looked to paint about her own identity as a Mexican woman and mother. She was blocked by male colleagues from receiving a mural commission despite being a finalist, and has since fallen almost completely off the map. She was an artist whose career was attacked because she was a woman and therefore called unfit to be a famous artist.  ]]> 2021-05-19 22:08:28 UTC https://padlet.com/gillybeandramaqueen/5o1kok42zk9lztss/wish/1541527346 gillybeandramaqueen https://padlet.com/gillybeandramaqueen/5o1kok42zk9lztss/wish/1541532393 Frida Kahlo is one of the most well known Feminist painters known for her talent and tumultuous relationship with painter Diego Rivera. In this painting that was done after the divorce she wears a painful thorn necklace, but seems unwavered by the pain. The feminist aspect is in the unibrow and mustache that are on her face. The reason Kahlo was such a feminist icon was because she did not bend to beauty ideals, she poainted herself as she was or as she wanted to be seen, not giving into the male gaze.

She questions the way that female form is presented as a way of political activism. She makes fun of the sexist portrayal of unrealistic women that were popular in the 60’s. She also does research based pieces on the way Peruvian women are represented vs. how they actually exist.

Unlike many other artists at the time she opted for a toned down approach to her pieces. She has a neutral color palette and uses abstract contouring. Her pieces are of the female anatomy and seek to sensualize it. ]]> 2021-05-19 22:13:39 UTC https://padlet.com/gillybeandramaqueen/5o1kok42zk9lztss/wish/1541536618 gillybeandramaqueen https://padlet.com/gillybeandramaqueen/5o1kok42zk9lztss/wish/1541538207 Paz Errazuriz is a Chilean photographer and artist who predominantly photographs queer or trans sex workers.

In these images she sports a mustache, which much like Frida Kahlo's works, fights against the male gaze and European beauty standards forced on women as the way they “should” look. She used her body and the earth in much of her art as a way of showing female sensuality and the connection to Earth. She also used art to fight against domestic violence and rape, however these images are not included due to the graphic nature.

She learned from studying European painters such as Picasso and in her own pieces decided to include aspects of the female form that they left out. She made the figures big and full of power, helping shape a post colonial vision of the female figure by getting rid of the Western view.

This piece is by a young girl who attended her interactive workshop called “Abrazos”. In this workshop students figured out new ways to hug and interact with each other in a safe and positive space and created artwork inspired by their experience. These artworks were hung up by the artworks Mayer made. ]]> 2021-05-19 22:20:57 UTC https://padlet.com/gillybeandramaqueen/5o1kok42zk9lztss/wish/1541548908
