Overview
"I would venture to say that Anonymous, who wrote so many poems without signing them, was often a woman". This phrase from the essay "A Room of One's Own" by Virginia Woolf gives title to the first exhibition of Marina Vargas (Granada, 1980) at Fernando Pradilla Gallery, presenting a recent and unpublished work with which the artist vindicates the silenced women of history.
As opposed to the anonymous women of history denounced by Woolf, here the anonymous women are the protagonists. In a meticulous work, with multiple allusions to different interests of the artist, we find an exhibition where we recognize the best Marina Vargas, where the symbolic and the ritual trace a conceptual journey full of denunciation and visibility of women, of breaking the silence and a global voice, embodied in a healing force and, above all, feminist.
