Movements, carvings, impressions. Female stances during the late 1900s

A lecture about female artists during the 1900s by Annika Öhrner, art historian, researcher, and curator
Artistic stances during the late 1900s, when Aili Kangas was active as an artist, are explored in this lecture through the lens of three female artistries: Siri Derkert (1988–1973), Barbro Östlihn (1930– 1995), and Monica Sjöö (1938–2005). By looking at some central works and the partly overlapping artistic movements of these women, we uncover an artistic space that continues to influence the arts.
