Online cycle of conversations | Session 1. Histories of Women in Arts, Design and Architecture

The pandemic situation forced us to rethink and reschedule events. We created a cycle of virtual conversations in order to reflect on the History of Women. The lack of physical presence was mitigated by the possibility of inviting researchers from other geographic locations.

The first session, dedicated to "Histories of Mulheres in Arts, Design and Architecture" and moderated by Patrícia Santos Pedrosa, was broadcast live on the Facebook of the project and very attended by the public.

 

Thank you so much, Emília Ferreira, Lia Gil Antunes, Maria Helena Souto, Paula Monteiro and Silvana Rubino (São Paulo, Brazil)!
