Exhibition on feminism in Lebanese art
6-3-2018
In its issue of today, Al Hayat daily brought to light an exhibition at Gallerie Tanit by Naila Kettaneh-Kunigk who for the first time raises the issue of feminism. Exploring contemporary concepts in aesthetic terms is not a novelty in the West, the newspaper wrote. The feminist art movement began in the sixties of the past century with the demand for women’s civil rights and their parity with men. It was influenced by the reformist schools of modernism seeking to establish feminist art in non-traditional ways that will contribute to changing the world. The mini exhibition in Beirut is a collective space shared by a selected group of women artists who left their mark in contemporary art in Lebanon during its golden era. While the exhibition left out many distinguished names, yet it introduced women who are working to achieve an emancipated visual art revolutionary in its relationship with itself, the other, society and memory. An art resonant of the times of civil war and political conflicts, as well as, reflecting lifestyles through new media that could be awe-inspiring in relation to some feminist themes of social and psychological nature.
