Two engravings by Liliane Dardot, The risk of embroidery and Ritual, were part of the exhibition Radical Women: Latin American Art, 1960-1985 organized by the Brookling Museum in New York, in 2018. The exhibition was also later exhibited at the Pinacoteca in São Paulo. These lithographs are part of a series later called Aqui, agora, in which the gestures of everyday tasks become the central themes of the engravings, in an appreciation and reflection on these invisible works.
The Radical Women exhibition addresses a gap in art history by giving visibility to the surprising production, carried out between 1960 and 1985, by these women living in Latin American countries, as well as Latinas and Chicanas born in the United States. The exhibition is curated by British Venezuelan art historian and curator Cecilia Fajardo-Hill and Italian-Argentine researcher Andrea Giunta and is the first in history to bring to the public a significant mapping of experimental artistic practices carried out by Latina artists and their influence on international production. Fifteen countries will be represented by around 120 artists, bringing together more than 280 works in photography, video, painting and other media. The presentation in the capital of São Paulo ends the tour and has the collaboration of Valéria Piccoli, chief curator of the Pinacoteca.
