Women in Art // Artur Chekh

“That woman is most deserving of respect, about whom men speak the least — whether to praise or criticize,” said Thucydides.

And in this phrase lies the essence of gender inequality — for millennia, women were denied the right to speak.

Even after the monumental achievements of the four waves of feminism and the revolutions in science, many still see women as “secondary” beings, incapable of anything outstanding — especially in art.

This lecture was created as a response to that.

Together, we’ll take a brief look at the history of women in culture through visual art and the names of great creators.

We’ll look at women not only through the eyes of men, but also through their own — to challenge the outdated belief that women were always behind the scenes, never creating anything of their own.

Through the stories of dozens of names (only dozens out of hundreds and thousands!), Artur will show that women are not only “as talented as men”, but valuable in their uniqueness, creativity, and brilliance.

They are an equal part of history and the world.
