Women Artists

El Museo has a legacy of supporting women artists, from its early exhibitions of embroidery to its more recent Women’s Retrospective Series. Emerging from this history, this section presents work by women artists ranging across media, including craft, photography, painting and performance. Abstractionist languages offer a point of exploration, through works by Evelyn López de Gúzman, Zilia Sánchez and Raquel Rabinovich. The section also explores – and contests – the role of women in society, as in the maternal imagery of Louisiane Saint Fleurant and Rachelle Mozman’s photograph from her series “Casa de mujeres.”
