Maria Grazia Chiuri Instagram – Suzanne Santoro’s artistic research should be placed within a broader context, that of the early 1970s international feminism, and the particular direction it took in Italy, where one of its main themes was sexuality.
She published her own work in 1974 under the name “Rivolta Femminile” Per una Espressione Nuova (Towards New Expression), a collection of images that aimed to restore the visibility of the female morphology iconography in artistic representations. From the very first publication, the book provoked mixed reactions. After 50 years, we are honoured to be able to re-issue together with Suzanne a revised edition of that book and continue the debate it had created. | Posted on 19/Apr/2024 00:43:47

![Maria Grazia Chiuri Instagram – Claire Fontaine’s installation in occasion of the @Dior Fall Winter 2024 show held at the @BrooklynMuseum features colourful suspended neon lights that echo the triangle hand gesture of 1970s feminist demonstrations, a homage to Santoro’s work on the female body and female form.
Each neon depicts the hands of several people involved in the project, a sort of collective portrait.
The hands raised in a triangle to form a vagina appeared in squares in the 1970s and its story is told in the fantastic book Il Gesto Femminista, edited by Ilaria Bussoni and Raffaella Perna, in which its origins and history are traced with archive images and contributions from sociologists, philosophers, art historians, photographers and film directors, all women.
“Hands spread like wings to recall the women’s revolt when their hands were raised to form a rhombus, materialising the vagina. […] To have brought the vagina out in the open, being as desired as unknown, was an act of rare visual violence, because to materialise it, to duplicate it with our fingers, was also a way of exorcising it, of freeing ourselves from its slavery, of freeing a secret from the darkness that surrounds us.” Claire Fontaine
