Activismos ecofeministas en la Argentina actual. El caso de AMMurA Rosario

Abstract

In 2018, the Agrupación de Mujeres Muralistas Argentinas (AMMurA) conducted a study to assess the place of female muralists in the Buenos Aires art scene. The results revealed that 90 % of the murals commissioned that year by the Buenos Aires government were painted by men. Given this fact, which seems to cast doubt on the very existence of mural painting by women in Argentina, we will focus on the production painted by the Rosario-based group AMMurA. We will highlight both their political commitments and the aesthetic proposal that the muralists intend to develop collectively. Given that Rosario is a city particularly affected by the environmental crisis, we will focus on the intertwining of feminist and environmental activism, asking to what extent the artists participate in the development of ecofeminist muralism in contemporary times.
