Dissident Practices: Brazilian Women Artists, 1960s–2020s

In Dissident Practices, Claudia Calirman examines sixty years of visual art by prominent and emerging Brazilian women artists from the 1960s to the present, covering the period from the military dictatorship to the return to democracy in the mid-1980s, the social changes of the 2000s, the rise of the Right in the late-2010s, and the recent development of an overtly feminist art practice.

Though they were lauded as key figures in Brazilian art, these artists still faced adversity and constraints because of their gender.
