- Create a digital repository of women designers.
- To develop an interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary research project that allows the object of study to be contextualised.
- To carry out quality research that identifies the existence of women designers, enabling the advancement of scientific knowledge through the cataloguing of female artists.
- To catalogue and analyse the aesthetic characteristics of female designers.
methodology
The Genius Group presents a proposal for research, cataloguing, dissemination, communication and education through the creation in a digital format (digital repository) of a repository of female artists, specifically female designers, whose general objective is to make female designers visible and to increase knowledge and understanding of science and technology, specifically in the artistic field of design, by making the works of female designers visible and thus disseminating them to the public.
practical applications
- Cataloguing of women artists, designers.
- Visibilisation of women designers.
- Analysis of works.
- Contribute to the rewriting of a history of design, where they are included.
Innovation and competitiveness:
The project is innovative and multidisciplinary,favouring equality between men and women. By giving visibility to female designers whose works throughout history have generally been signed by others (partner, father, brother, etc.) through the creation of the digital repository of female designers, the aim is to catalogue and give visibility to female artists, who in most cases have been overlooked by the history of art.
