| Abstract | |
This thesis aims to investigate and understand the role of women in Brazilian design through textile artifacts. We start at the beginning of Brazilian designs institutionalization to locate its first generation of professionals who did not have higher educations in the field. Two central questions guided our investigation: what were the contributions of women to the fields constitution together with how these were documented, and what is the place of textile artifacts in the historiography of design. During the 1950s and 1960s, the Museum of Art of São Paulo (MASP) and the Museum of Modern Art of Rio de Janeiro (MAM Rio) were important spaces in the development of design and its pedagogy. From mapping the courses and exhibitions offered at these institutions we delineated this thesis around the life and work of six women artists and designers: Fayga Ostrower, Irene Ruchti, Klara Hartoch, Luisa Sambonet, Marta Erps- Breuer, and Olly Reinheimer. Analyzed together, the trajectories of these artists allow us to reflect on the possibilities of designs professionalization and to understand the social relations of gender mobilized by these practices along three axes: 1. migrations and historical contexts; 2. professionalization and work; and 3. social relations, partnerships and professional trajectories. Our final intention is to reflect on how the dimension of gender crosses a complexity of social relationships, including womens access to educational spaces, their means of working, the exhibition circuit, and the fields career opportunities.
