Always sensitive to the relationship between art and contemporary society, the Biennale Donna aims to focus on the sociocultural, geopolitical, and identitarian issues that affect the aesthetic contributions from the contemporary panorama of women artists. “Silencio vivo” rediscovers the infiltration of important current events in art, investigating Latin American reality and identifying its recurring themes, such as the experience of emigration, the dynamics in the aftermath of military dictatorships, censorship, crime, social imbalance between individuals and the collective, the value of identity and the fragility of human relationships.
