Ensayo 6: Lotty Rosenfeld, die Gruppe CADA und Mujeres por la vida: Kunst und Feminismus in Chile in den 1980er Jahren

Self-publishing — 2024

Throughout her career in 1980s Chile, the artist Lotty Rosenfeld moved from political action onto feminist activism, employing strategies for visibility and outreach that remained consistent throughout her career. Ensayo 6 was the flyer announcing a talk on this topic at the Central Library for Women’s, Gender, and Queer Studies at the Center for Gender and Diversity at the University of Hamburg, which took place on October 16, 2024. Alejandra Coz Rosenfeld, director of the Lotty Rosenfeld Foundation, also attended.

The Ensayos series was launched in late 2021, coinciding with the start of a wide-ranging research project aimed at redefining—from a feminist and, to the extent possible, decolonial perspective—the canon that historiography has established for the artist’s book genre. The aim of this series is to present partial research findings in a variety of printed formats. While disseminating information and content, the publications in the series experiment with alternative formats to the channels through which academic research is usually disseminated.
