Benidorm promotes ‘Culture for Equality’ to give visibility to women in Art

03 June 2021
Benidorm impulsa ‘Cultura por la Igualdad’ para dar visibilidad a la mujer en el Arte

Benidorm City Council will launch this June ‘Culture for Equality’, a cross-cutting project to give visibility to artistic production with the stamp of women. The initiative promoted by the areas of Culture and Equality, led by Jaime Jesús Pérez and Ángela Zaragozí, aims to “raise awareness among the population and highlight those women from the world of culture who carry out an activity both professionally and 'amateur', paying thus the debt that History owes to all those women who for centuries generated culture and art without their work being disseminated on the same scale as that of male creators ”.
Zaragozí has ​​pointed out that "the theme addressed in this project ranges from equality to the greatest exponent of inequality, which is gender violence", and has stressed that this initiative serves as a "platform to give visibility to the artistic creation of the women, but it is also constituted as a space for vindication and awareness about the same issue ”.
The councillor explained that "with‘ Culture for Equality ’we advance in the line of choral work that both departments have been developing for some time, giving it continuity and a specific program."
For his part, the Councilor for Culture has detailed that this project begins "with three activities of theater, conference and documentary film" scheduled at Óscar Esplá auditorium on three different days. The first will be tomorrow, Friday, June 4, at 9:30 p.m., with "the lyrical circus show 'Sophie', with the participation of La Troupe Malabó and La Mala" that arrives in Benidorm after having obtained the recognition of the audience and 'Premi IVC Millor Artista de Circ' to Marisa Ibáñez.
On Friday the 11th “we will have the audiovisual artist expert in communication and gender, Yolanda Domínguez, with a dynamic presentation of the theme 'Changing images to change the world', also at 9:30 pm. The following week, on Friday June 18, the documentary film ‘It will be a man’ will be screened, with the presence and intervention of its director, Isabel de Ocampo.
Pérez has advanced that ‘Culture for Equality’ is an open project, which will not be limited only to the summer but will “continue to schedule new appointments at other times of the year because we also want literature and other artistic and cultural disciplines”.
