Symposium ‘Women in the Museum: The Fabric of Fame – Materiality versus the Canon’ – 4 March 2025

This edition of the annual Rijksmuseum conference Women in the Museum focuses on the materiality of the physical (art) object as a gateway into the history of women makers, users and trendsetters. Studying the different spaces and contexts in which women produced, used, collected and commissioned objects enables us to understand the essential roles women played in art. How do we interrogate, collect and establish meanings from objects in institutions and what is the effect thereof on women’s (in)visibility? And how does researching the physicality of objects enable museums, institutions and individuals to actively diversify – among others – women narratives?
