Roma Capitale celebrates International Women's Day

Giornata internazionale della donna 2021
from 7 March 2021 to 22 March 2021

On Monday 8 March, on the occasion of International Women's Day, Roma Culture promotes the #DonneCultureRoma initiative, a program of free events dedicated to female talent and its enhancement.

The program is available throughout the day, and in the following days, on the culture.roma.it website, on the social channels of @cultureroma, through the hashtags #donnecultureroma, #8marzocultureroma, #8marzo, and #cultureroma, and on the digital channels of the cultural institutions that have participated in its realization.

At 10, Teatro dell'Opera di Roma presents a preview on its official YouTube channel and Instagram TV. Tosca, one of the most eclectic and experimental interpreters of the Italian music scene, launches her new video clip in the theater where, in January 1900, Tosca by Giacomo Puccini, the Roman opera par excellence, made its debut. The singer offers an intimate and personal reading of Vissi d’arte accompanied by Massimo De Lorenzi on guitar.

The many proposals from the Casa del Cinema in Rome, and its director Giorgio Gosetti, start at 10 am on the institution's website and social channels. A journey into the history of cinema through the conquests of women, their emancipation, and their pride, without neglecting the intense portraits that, over time, great filmmakers and performers have depicted female figures. Among the various initiatives, at 11, a foray into the exhibition dedicated to Mario Monicelli. In front of Monica Vitti's images, the cinema critic Alberto Crespi, together with Gosetti, recalls the set stories and the mother scenes of the memorable film The girl with the pistol.

Through its website and social channels, Palazzo delle Esposizioni tells the stories of some of the most important women in the world of art, fashion, and performance. At noon, Cesare Pietroiusti dedicates his narration to the artists of the 90s and their ability to significantly influence the development of relational art.

At 11 am, and at 3 pm, the Napoleonic Museum dedicates a tour to the female figures of the Bonaparte family. At 1 pm, the museum Facebook page inaugurates Vis-a-vis con le Bonaparte, a new cycle of all-female video-narrations: four short stories in images that analyze the profiles of Mathilde, Charlotte, Eugénie, and Hortense Bonaparte.

At 11 am, on the Facebook page of the Galleria d’Arte Moderna di Roma, you can assist the world premiere of Bianca Pucciarelli, aka Tomaso Binga, performance Ti scrivo solo di domenica. In a mechanical way and without emotional inflections, the author reads the epistolary diary of a woman who, for an entire year, writes to a friend every Sunday, considering it as the only female day of the week. A year of impressions, descriptions, emergency messages, dreams, and projects, all written and narrated by the voice of the author accompanied by the punctual ticking of a metronome and of a liturgical chant. At 5 pm, on the Facebook page of the museum, Daniela Perego launches the video Pensieri diversi da artiste diverse, inspired by the exhibition Le altre opere. Artisti che collezionano artisti, you can visit at the Galleria d’Arte Moderna until 2 May 2021. The art, the experiences, the current events, and the future of the artists on display come to life in front of their works, in a comparison of voices, generations, and personal experiences.

At 4.30 pm, on the Google Suite, the Istituto Luce presents Donne in Luce, images, and female presences. An excursus among the Luce newsreels that investigates the scarce appearance reserved to female figures, relegated by the regime to subordinate and traditional roles, according to a principle of controlling women to always be contained within a narrow perimeter functional to the demographic policy of the State.

The activities of the Sovrintendenza continue even after 8 March with the appointment of aMICi focused on the Empresses from the Napoleonic Museum, online on Google Suite, Thursday 11 March at 4 pm. It is a visual and historical-artistic journey on two figures with an undisputed charisma: Joséphine, the first wife of Napoleon, and Eugenia, the wife of Napoleon III.

At 5 pm, on the social channels of the Casa delle Letterature of the Istituzione Biblioteche di Roma, you can follow the review of all-female appointments Donne in Letterature, a tribute to the writers of the current publishing scene. Until 22 March.

At 5 pm, on the social channels of the Teatro di Roma - Teatro Nazionale, the special event Tacete, o maschi, inhabited by voices of women, artists, scholars, musicians, comedians, poets, goes online. Remote contributions and interventions intertwine on the stage of the Teatro Argentina, in a symphony of female voices, active in the various sectors of art and thought.

Appointment at 6 pm on the social pages of the Teatro di Villa Pamphilj for the streaming event #Contiamoci. It presents the results of a pilot study launched on 22 June to shed light on the gender imbalances in the improvised arts through a careful analysis of salient points such as the number of professionally active female musicians, their role in the bands, their leadership, their presence in festivals, all referred to the male jazz universe. The event is enriched by music performance.
