DESCRIPTION:As part of the “Salon Polin” series, the Polish Institute is pleased to
host a journalist and cultural researcher Ofir Hovav for a special lecture
inspired by the large-scale exhibition The Question of Women in Art,
currently on view at the Museum of Modern Art in Warsaw.
The lecture, titled Anonymous Was a Woman: How Women Were Erased from Art
History, will explore the forgotten stories of women artists whose works
were attributed for centuries to male creators, and examine how the canon
of art history was constructed. Through a fascinating investigative journey
beginning in the Northern Renaissance and passing through Gdańsk and
Warsaw, we will look at how art history was written — and who was left
outside the frame.
The event will address questions of visibility, erasure, gender, and
cultural memory, while examining how contemporary research challenges
historical attributions and long-standing assumptions in the art world.
Ofir Hovav is a journalist and culture and fashion writer for Haaretz. Her
work focuses on the intersection of art, fashion, and visual culture,
exploring how identity, gender, and historical narratives are reflected in
contemporary creative practice.
