MACA, the Museum of Contemporary Art of Alicante, wants to join this commendable initiative sponsored by MAV, Women for the Visual Arts, which aims to give visibility to art created by women. The purpose of the "Women's Perspectives" Festival is to promote and highlight the fundamental role that women play in all professional fields of the visual arts. Until now, the festival linked the main cultural entities and spaces in Madrid and its community, but in this edition it is extended to the entire national territory.

The notorious scarcity of works in the permanent collections of museums makes it almost impossible to enjoy the work of women in exhibition halls. MACA wants to highlight (although in a very small percentage, 12.1%) the presence of works by female artists in the permanent exhibitions, and thus works by Sonia Delaunay, COLEC-002, Soledad Sevilla, Carmen Calvo, Victoria Civera, Ángeles Marco, Amparo Tormo and Esther Ferrer can be enjoyed.

In the temporary exhibition that we present during this period from January 25 to April 7, titled "As a Form of Reflection," works by Montserrat Soto and Susy Gómez are included, which are also occupying prominent places on the Ground Floor of the Museum.

As a result of the installation of all these works, we will establish for this Women's Perspectives Festival an educational itinerary that explores feminine creation throughout all the spaces of the museum from basement level 1, ground level, level 1 and level 2, establishing possible connections between works and artists. Guided visits to approach these 10 works in different formats, techniques and media: painting, drawing, sculpture, collage, graphic work and photography from 1962 to 2004. Visits that highlight the importance of art made by women and at the same time denounce the scarcity of its representation.
