Museum exposition Women in Art

gender equity and 8M commemoration

Abstract

In March of 2025 project “Museum Exposition Women in Art” was presented at Unit 142 Tlaquepaque of the National Pedagogic University as a part of the International Women’s Day commemorative event. The project’s objective was to create a museum experience in Unit 142 to bring visibility to the work and contributions of women to the arts, as well as to promote and raise awareness on gender equity.

Methodology: Founded on a work of research and curatorship done by the students of the institution, an exposition of art was set up to focus on painting and music as the main artistic disciplines, with the intention of bringing about an inclusive dialogue that could sensitize the community, acknowledging and celebrating the talent of a diverse range of women artists from throughout history.

The project considers Invisible Pedagogy and Critical Pedagogic Proposals as its main theoretical foundations, inviting the students to participate in community projects that promote the transformation of their educational environments, as well as the concept of an educational museum as a place to gather and learn. The conclusions and findings of this article describe the development of the project from a gender equity scope, and presents research upon its results, based on the established objectives and from the specific point of view of the students involved.
