Susie Hodge's book, 'Breve História das Artistas Mulheres,' serves as a historical overview, while Ana Paula Simioni's 'Mulheres Modernistas: Estratégias de Consagração na Arte Brasileira' examines the works of Tarsila do Amaral, Anita Malfatti, and Regina Graz. Curated by Pri Barbosa, '8M22 – Às que cavaram rios com as mãos' showcases pieces from Ana Harff and Bruna Alcantara. Sesc Digital presents 'Pioneiras Do Cinema,' highlighting female directors from the early 20th century.
