The exhibition Women in Popular Art brings together eight women artists. The importance of the clipping is evidenced by the fact that women were less represented in the construction of the idea of popular art in Brazil. But this selection of works also allows us to observe the works under other identities, those of race and socioeconomic strata. Many of them share the creation in rural areas, the experience of subaltern work, the experience of life with meager means. The profound mark left in this production by the relationship with the rural world is significant, not only in those artists whose production takes place in this context or close to it, but also in those who experienced or received the impacts of the exodus from the countryside to the cities that occurred in Brazil in the 20th century, and its vertiginous urban growth.
