Humanities Festival

KATY HESSEL in conversation with ELISABETH PRIEDL SATURDAY, 28.09.2024 / 14h00 AKADEMIE DER BILDENDEN KÜNSTE WIEN, AULA No art form has excluded the role of women so systematically as the visual arts. KATY HESSEL has been almost single-handedly redressing that balance since 2015 with her project, The Great Women Artists. Her best-selling book, The Story of Art without Men (Hutchinson Heinemann, 2022), restores for the first time the role of women who have been rendered invisible by the industry of art history but who have made fundamental contributions to its development. Hessel is an art historian, creator, lecturer, and writer who will remove the veil of this secret history in conversation with art historian ELISABETH PRIEDL from the Institute for Art Theory and Cultural Studies at the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna. ------------- Part of the Vienna Humanities Festival 2024. In 2024, the festival will be organized by the Institute for Human Sciences (IWM) and Time To Talk (TTT) in cooperation with FALTER, the Open Society Foundations, the City of Vienna, ERSTE Foundation, the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna, the Wien Museum, and the Volkstheater.
