Led by Dr Lauren Rea (University of Sheffield)
Nowhere is the battle for gender equality more urgent than in Latin America, where violence against women and girls is pervasive.
Dr Lauren Rea, a researcher from the School of Languages and Cultures, is working with a legacy publishing house in Argentina to promote images of women’s past and present contributions to Latin American society.
Showcasing Dr Rea’s research on Argentina’s Billiken magazine, the world’s longest-running children’s magazine, the exhibition will juxtapose historical, gendered images from the magazine against inspiring images from the ‘100 Great Latin American Women’ project.
No booking necessary.
