Abstract

A recent exhibition featuring works by the collective Guerrilla Girls at Masp [Museu de Arte de São Paulo], has brought renewed attention to gender issues in the art field. The theme is related to the female presence in institutional contexts, the production of women artists and the discourse of art history. When we add factors
related to ethnicity, it is necessary to consider the variables imposed by the experience of black women in the diaspora. The article deals with contextual issues, refers to emblematic works of the nude tradition to facilitate the observation of the displacements brought about by the feminist production of the 1970s in the United States. Works of African-American female artists are then approached to exemplify the specificity demanded for a gender perspetive that can encompass race accordingly, considering a diversity of heritage and experiences.
