Contemporary art

The role of women artists in Art History and Art has been invisibilized, as in many other areas of knowledge.

Women Who Make Things is an ironic title from which to approach artistic production and its importance in the current feminist movement and thought. But above all, and through the course block under this title, it aims to create safe spaces of knowledge and exchange for and among women.

This exhibition is part of a transformative research program called RE-WIRING, funded by the European Union. In addition to the University of Deusto, it is organized in collaboration with other prominent institutions, including the University of Portsmouth (UK), Center for Inclusive Leadership (GB), University of Western Cape (South Africa), University of Utrecht (Netherlands), and University of Gdańsk (Poland).

The Ribera Festival aims to highlight the cultural and artistic ecosystem, as well as the intangible heritage and memory of the Bidasoa River and the border between Spain (Irun) and France (Hendaye).

The exhibition explores a selection of the world’s most interesting libraries, from classical ones such as Alexandria or the British Library, to contemporary examples like Dokk1 Aarhus, Oodi Helsinki, and the Hyundai Card Libraries in Seoul, as well as proposals that go beyond the traditional concept of library, such as the Aby Warburg Library, the Mobile Public Libraries of Colombia, or the Human Library, composed of human “books.”
