Lo scardinamento dei ruoli e dello stereotipo sociale nella ricerca del Collettivo Donne Fotoreporter di Milano alla fine degli anni Settanta

Abstract

This paper investigates, based on unpublished archival sources, the work of the Collettivo Donne Fotoreporter (Lilli Barchiesi, Kitty Bolognesi, Giovanna Calvenzi, Mazia Malli, Laura Rizzi, Livia Sismondi and Chiara Visconti), formed in Milan as part of the feminist movements of the 1970s. Specifically analyzed are I Ruoli (January 1978) and Gesti e oggetti della casalinga (1979), two photographic projects that aim to disrupt, in both an ironic and critical form, the female stereotype through actions of transformation and alteration in order to produce a metamorphic overturning of visual customs on identity. As well as their inclusion in peculiar traveling exhibitions (I Ruoli and Una Nessuna Centomila) through which the Collective attempts to subvert social and patriarchal constructs.
