Abstract

This article analyses the work Diva by Juliana Notari. In dealing with a giant vulva that emerges in the middle of an area that was once a sugarcane plantation, in Pernambuco, several waves of contestation have emerged. We intend to show that this artistic production is taken as a portrait of aesthetic and political artivism, but also to frame it within the processes of resistance that demarcate the Global South. It is from a qualitative methodology, based on a content analysis of the work of the artist Juliana Notari that we base our analysis, seeking to reflect and question the canons of masculine genius, as well as the evolution and consolidation of a social history of feminist art.
