Women of the 20th Century. The Sense of Art

The month of March in Misano Adriatico will be entirely dedicated to women.
The Equal Opportunities Commission This recently established organisation opens its doors with four events dedicated to female figures who, in various ways, have shaped the world around them: painters, gallery owners and activists who have left indelible marks on the fabric of reality, etched with intelligence, passion, creativity and courage.
The series of meetings is organised in collaboration with the municipal administration and with the fundamental financial contribution of Geat.
“We thank Geat for the sensitivity shown – the words of Deputy Mayor Maria Elena Malpassi – “No less important is the participation of the local community which, through associations and citizens” committees, has always stood alongside the municipal administration and the Equal Opportunities Commission in organising social initiatives for the whole community. By celebrating the lives of some figures who are still today examples of strength, courage, and sources of inspiration, we will reflect on the fundamental role women play in the community, the challenges they have faced, and those still ongoing to achieve real equal opportunities.".

Here is the programme for the lecture series “Women of the 20th Century. The Sense of Art”led by the pedagogist and art enthusiast Ester Sabetta:

• Saturday 8 March, International Women's Day. The iconic figure of Frida Kahlo will be the focus of the meeting, scheduled for 5:00 PM in the Municipal Library. Before the conference, at 4:45 PM, the Red Bench, created thanks to the commitment of the Misano 2030 Association, will be inaugurated in the library gardens.
• Saturday 15 March The exploration continues with the irreverent courage of Afghan writer Shamsia Hassani (Palazzina Bianchini Via della Repubblica, 124).
• Saturday 22 March with the brilliant nonconformity of painter Tamara de Lempicka (at the Misano Monte Committee, Via Enrico de Nicola, 5)
• Saturday 29 March will conclude with the unparalleled intuition of the collector Peggy Guggenheim (in the Municipal Library).
