ESMy proposal aims to reflect on the development and evolution of artistic practices in relation to feminism and gender in the Basque Country from the mid-eighties to the present, in a context of the non existence of a feminist tradition in art criticism and practice. I will speak from my own personal experience, first as an artist, secondly as an artist who belongs to a particular generation: the one who began to study Fine Arts in Bilbao at the University of the Basque Country in 1985 and partly continued their studies and professional work in Arteleku Art Centre, Donostia-San Sebastián; finally, I would like to talk about the Basque feminist artist group Erreakzioa-Reacción, that I founded with Estibaliz Sadaba in 1994, as a space for the development and production of creative and research projects on art and feminism with a will to make visible the work of women artists, establish genealogies through generations and contribute to the expansion of social fabric and networks via publications, zines, workshops, talks, videos and exhibitions.
