Altra Misura Arte, Fotografia e Femminismo in Italia negli Anni '70. Another Measure. Art, Photography and Feminism in Italy in the Seventies

Another Measure, that is to say eleven artists, among the most prominent representatives of Italian art of the second half of the twentieth century, whose works are presented together, for the first time, at the Galleria Frittelli. Book and exhibition retrace the years of the audacious verbal and aesthetic protest for which photography was an immediate means of expression to tell everyday life: both trivial and important stories narrate relationships that are ironic and dramatic at the same time, and a condition in which women occupied a subordinate position determined by an unclear and prevaricating social system.
In these years women strongly asserted their role in everyday life, not only as mothers, but as persons capable of thinking, acting, expressing themselves and working in a society that until then had been extremely chauvinist. In the '60s and '70s women claimed what today is taken by granted, and fought for the indefeasible right to be acknowledged as subjects entitled to contribute in building a society based on work and justice. The eleven protagonists of Another Measure are: Tomaso Binga, Diane Bond, Lisetta Carmi, Nicole Gravier, Ketty La Rocca, Lucia Marcucci, Paola Mattioli, Libera Mazzoleni, Verita Monselles, Anna Oberto, Cloti Ricciardi.
