Misoginia e assédio sexual : um debate na arte contemporânea

Abstract

Considering the potential that arts have to interrogate the problematics of the contemporary world, in the paper ?Misogyny and Sexual Harassment: a debate in the contemporary art?, appropriate a personal object for myself resignifying it in my work. The object, a personal garment, that has never been worn before and that was kept by many years, carries the weight of a traumatic memories ?triggering? object and is presented to the audience after being transformed by my intervention. As a result of a long cathartic process, what was once the 15-years-old dress of a party that has never taken place turns into the ?Iron Lady? piece with the purpose of provoking an interrogative atmosphere (sic).
