FEM
Feminism, as a movement of the last two centuries, formed to promote gender equality by challenging social and gender stereotypes. In essence, it is about the recognition of the whole personality and not about the supremacy of women or the promotion of hatred and rivalry between the sexes, as mistakenly believed.
Gender equality has not yet been achieved. Much remains to be done to save women and girls from gender-based of harassment and violence. There is still a long way to go before we are free to walk the path of our choice, free from all kinds of stereotypes. There is still much to be done to ensure that women have equal opportunities for social and professional advancement and can take on leadership roles in politics and business.
Through its educational and cultural activities, Femedubeart aims to strengthen feminism in its struggle for equality, self-determination and autonomy of the individual. Our aim is also to cultivate the values and attitudes that overcome patriarchy and gender discrimination and to raise awareness of these issues through activities of European scope. Our vision is a future of equality between men and women.
EDU
Education was and is undoubtedly the greatest liberating blow for the spiritual development of the individual and his or her consequent development on an intellectual, social and political level. Liberating not only because it expands the spectrum of knowledge of the individual, but above all because it removes the stereotypes and limitations that each and every one of us carries with us.
Feminism and education are inextricably linked because feminism is founded on gender equality, self-determination and the autonomy of the human body, while persistently fighting against patriarchy and sexist discrimination.
The aim of femedubeart, with the support of education professionals, is to
\ contribute to the spread of feminism and its values,
\ raise awareness of women’s interests and freedom of self-determination,
\ promote critical thinking and stimulate fruitful thought on how gender equality in politics, work, economy, art and society in all its dimensions can be achieved in practice.
BE
Feminist ethics focuses on solving the problems related to the oppression of women and the violation of their rights (violence, devaluation, exclusion, marginalisation, harassment, inequality in work, unequal division of domestic work, unequal opportunities in private and public life).
Femedubeart aims to contribute with its activities to the struggle for the creation of new values free from patriarchal norms and any tendency towards oppression and domination. Our aim is to promote cooperation between the sexes based on the autonomy and integrity of existence and on the ethical experiences of women and men.
From moral upliftment, equality and justice ultimately arises beauty, an inner and an outer beauty. For the cultivation of the soul virtues produces beauty, goodness and wisdom and recognises every woman, man and human being in their social relationships and in society in general.
ART
Femininity in works of art dominates and the artistic movements of almost all epochs have been expressed through them. However, there are very few female creators in art history, and those who existed for many centuries remained with their names and works buried in obscurity, in museum rooms, in office drawers, in their personal workshops.
Social gender inequality in art reveals both the cultural and political dimensions of the problem of women. After all, it is art that connects people, moralises them, sensitises them, cultivates empathy and self-healing.
Feminism has highlighted the contradiction between the absence of women artists and its symbolic presence as an issue. Many women from all artistic backgrounds were pioneers in this struggle. There were also male artists who supported feminism.
Feminist art is a way of creating that raises questions, that reflects on issues such as gender, identity and otherness. Femedubeart aims not only to highlight the artistic merits of women, but also to promote works that provoke thought about female oppression, otherness and gender inequalities.
We strongly believe that same-sex justice and culture should meet in art. An art that is free from ethnic prejudice and discrimination of any kind. An art that deconstructs archetypal symbolism and patterns.
