Popis: The text introduces the Débora Arango Heritage Fund, a collection of works and documents that represent the artistic and cultural legacy of Débora Arango, one of the most relevant and influential artists of Colombia in the 20th century. Arango's art was a social and political cri-tique, which led her to be censored and persecuted by the government and the conservative society of the time. The text also describes the socio-cultural context in which Arango developed her work, highlighting the misogyny and sexism widely accepted and assumed in Colombia in the 1940s, as well as the restrictive roles and stereotypes of gender, the limited access to education and job opportu-nities for women, and the normalization of gender-based violence. The influence of the church, the conservatism, and moralism promoted by the society and the sexual stig-ma faced by women who challenged the established norms are also mentioned. The text emphasizes that Arango was one of the women who challenged gender roles and conser-vative values of the time, through her artwork and politi-cal and social activism.
