IVAM brings together half a century of Valencian female artists

The new exhibition ‘Against the hide’ held by Instituto Valenciano de Arte Moderno (IVAM) takes us on a journey through the works created by Valencian female artists between 1929-1980 to give visibility to these daring and brave women who fought against moral and artistic conservatism”. This exhibition recreates the difficult path which Valencian female artists were forced to travel down, from the end of the dictatorship of Primo de Rivera, the Second Republic, Civil War, Francisco Franco dictatorship and the Transition, to gain more visibility and carve out their professional careers in a very unfavourable social context.

This exhibition includes 240 works created by female artists which including painting, photography, sculpting or architecture, in which a total of forty artists have participated, such as Carmen Calvo, Manuela Ballester, Eva Mus, Ángela García or Ana Torralva, amongst others.
