This panel explores the intervention of women artists in the field of experimental art education in Latin America from the 1960s to the 1980s, a period characterized by shifting gender roles, growing demands for female liberation and the development of feminist struggles. Conceived as a radical site of individual and collective emancipation at a time of political oppression in many Latin American countries, the creation of pedagogical projects by artists, often founded on a symbolic break with the institutional space of the classroom or the museum, developed in multiple and heterogeneous directions.

The panel, therefore, aims to discuss individual and collective educational experiences that blurred the boundaries between artistic practices and teaching, between individual and collective work, while often claiming a wider, more democratic definition of creativity and the capacity of art to intervene in social, political and psychological processes.

The presentations engage, from different theoretical and methodological perspectives, with the triangulation between artistic experimentation, art education and radical pedagogies in Latin America from the 1960s to the 1980s, with a specific focus on women´s contribution in this area.
