Contemporary Art Competition
Live exposure and video exposure
As every year, PassepARTout Unconventional Gallery wants to pay homage to the woman who over the centuries has had to fight to overcome discrimination and violence with the international competition Women in the Renaissance, now in its 14th edition. The competition features all those women who have fought to overcome the adversities that life has subjected them to.
History gives us some figures, symbols of a femininity that has used art, poetry, sport, religion to resist and rebel against demeaning cultural models that wanted them to be crazy, alien, different.
The works in competition will have the strength of tell about women and their tenacity in escaping definitions, to a world that, perhaps too easily, labels as "different" those who claim the right not to correspond to a stereotyped role. Women who don't fit, therefore. Women who have told, through their life experience, how inner strength can act as a medium for voices that are too often suffocated and of uncomfortable sensitivities.
Today more than ever it is important and worthy to remember the example and message that these women have left us.
A courageous message of independence, emancipation and love for life and others. A cry against violence, against discrimination imposed by a cultural model based on prejudice.
This competition not only promotes the creativity of emerging artists, but also offers a platform to enter the art world, contributing to the spread of a message of change.
