Mulheres negras nas artes: a representatividade das negras enquanto artistas nas artes visuais

Abstract

This research aims to discuss the impacts of the lack of representation of black women in the field of visual arts as artists, from the historical contextualization of art education and teaching for black women, reflecting on them in the field of visual arts as providers of representativeness and highlighting the challenges to achieve prominence as a black artist in the visual arts. The theoretical framework includes reflections on research in the history of education and art teaching for black women, representative artists, in addition to contextualizing and discussing the challenges and impacts of the lack of female representation in art, specifically black women. The methodological procedures adopted consist of a bibliographic survey and a semi-structured choice with black artists. The data obtained indicate that patriarchy, social and religious policies, social and gender inequality, racism, Eurocentrism, informality, anonymity, historical erasure, and devaluation of the productions of black artists in the visual arts, especially the of Pernambuco's northern forest are factors that caused and caused the absence of female representation, in addition to hindering the achievement of these artists' protagonism.
