Today's creative women as references for the world of tomorrow

Abstract

This article examines how the plastic and visual arts contribute to the reconfiguration of art history by highlighting female identities as creators. It integrates visual analysis, gender perspectives, and historical revision. Grounded in theories such as the male gaze by Laura Mulvey and Kimberlé Crenshaw's intersectionality, the study proposes a critical approach to contemporary art concepts. The primary objective is to demonstrate how women artists have deconstructed gender stereotypes by exploring their creative autonomy. Through an interdisciplinary methodology, the study analyzes cases of female authors whose works advocate for new forms of female subjectivity. The findings reveal that contemporary women artists have transformed visual art into a powerful tool of resistance against patriarchy, fostering inclusive and complex representations. The study concludes that the inclusion of female creators in art historiography and the incorporation of intersectional perspectives in art studies promote the development of more equitable and sustainable societies that showcase the richness of all human identities.
