The female represented

Cycle of 6 meetings dedicated to women and their representation in politics, art, cinema, media, music and fashion.

Italy is not a country for women. A sentence pronounced too many times, an indication of a gender gap that is still extremely tangible today, both in the field of work and in social and political participation.

The gap between men and women is also highlighted every year in the reports of the World Economic Forum, the OCS and the European Union, but it cannot be fully understood, and therefore fought, if the cultural substratum that makes it possible is not taken into account. and, above all, if we do not consider how women and their bodies are represented in our society. The feminine continues to be visually conveyed through stereotypes and, too often, undergoes a real distortion in the collective imagination. With the aim of arousing and cultivating a new cultural awareness, the series of meetings entitled “The female represented”, therefore, intends to open a transversal debate on how women have been and are still represented today in politics, in the media, in cinema. , in art, music and fashion. Animated by experts but accessible to all, the conferences are free, open to the wider public and also to teachers, students and the world of women’s associations.
