A panel discussion at PVF 2026 explores the evolving role of women in the arts, focusing on historical representation, institutional barriers, and pathways to greater access. Moderated by Francesca Ragazzi and Alessia Glaviano, the conversation features Chiara Rostagno, Deputy Director of Pinacoteca, who shares insights into curatorial practices and efforts to diversify museum collections. The dialogue highlights persistent gaps in recognition and funding for female artists across generations.
The event underscores the importance of reevaluating cultural institutions to ensure inclusive narratives. Participants examine how systemic biases have shaped art history and discuss initiatives aimed at correcting imbalances. By centering voices from underrepresented communities, the discussion calls for structural change within galleries, archives, and educational programs. These conversations contribute to a broader movement advocating for equity and visibility in the arts.
