The 1960s in the visual arts were characterized by groundbreaking achievements arising from the breakdown of artistic categories and the emergence of a free attitude towards languages. Sorne Latin American women artists who went into exile in European countries during the 1960s and 1970s played an important raie in experimentalism during this period, in which, alongside the emergence of counterculture and movements such as conceptual art, body art, land art, video art, happenings and performances, state violence reigned in their countries of origin due to military coups that imposed restrictions on freedoms and persecuted and tortured opponents. Iole de Freitas, Cecilia Vicufia, Marta Minujin, Marie Orensanzs, Feliza Burnstyn, Maria Evelia Marmolejo, Lea Lublin, Marcia Schvartz and Teresa Trujillo are artists who have contributed to the advancement of contemporary art in proposals that have used new media and dealt with themes as current as the female body and its representations. Countries such as ltaly, France, Spain and
England offered them political asylum or conditions of stay and further artistic training. While living their experiences of exile in European lands, the artists dialogued and/or collaborated with groups and eminent figures in the visual arts, film and video, theater or dance. These interdisciplinary relationships and dialogues had implications for their productions and reverberated in the environments and groups they frequented.
This project investigates the context of the plastic arts in Europe from the 1960s to the 1980s and its relationship with the careers of the artists listed.
