English google translation excerpt:

“A selection of twenty works from the exhibition 100 years after the Victory of the Suffragists (1918-2018), United Kingdom, arrived in Buenos Aires, which responded to a call made by the London curator Lucy Tammam, art director of Filia UK, which got an interesting response in the United Kingdom and Ireland.

As implied in the choice of the Latin word “filia” (daughter), the British collective insists on remembering the numerous predecessors of the feminist movement: “We are the daughters of the women who came before us, who fought for our children, our bodies, us. This legacy presents the challenge of continuing to fight for the liberation of all women and girls today “(www.filia.org.uk)

The show contains the voices of many women who graphically represent gender roles, the representation of the female body, domestic torture, not yet legally typified in Britain, the memory of the Suffragettes, who won the vote for women in 1918 by dint of personal sacrifices, as well as the joy and oppression of women in today’s family, and many other visions that touch us closely.

This exhibition, consisting of one hundred works, was exhibited last year in Manchester during the global feminist conference of Filia UK Manchester 2018, which brought together more than six hundred participants, in London (Atelier Tammam) and in São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro , under the auspices of the British Council Brazil.”
