Book presentation by Christiane Struyven: "Who’s Afraid of Female Artists?"

Discover the forgotten stories of 50 Belgian women artists (1880–2020) together with art historian and author Christiane Struyven.

In her new book “Who’s Afraid of Female Artists?”, she presents a richly illustrated overview of female talent, framed within its art historical and social context.

During this lecture, you’ll learn how these women claimed their place within movements such as realism, the avant-garde, abstraction, and contemporary art. Struyven takes you through more than a century of art history, supported by images and personal stories.

This lecture is organized in collaboration with De Latemse Kunstkring.
