Conference programme
 

On 3 September 2024, dr. Olivia Nițiș (G. Oprescu Institute of Art History) gave a presentation at the international colloquium Carmen Sylva, Dora Hitz and Women's Art Networks in Romania and Germany at the Peles National Museum. The colloquium accompanied the opening of the exhibition Carmen Sylva - Dora Hitz: word and image, curated by Dr. Shona Kallestrup (University of St Andrews) and Dr. Natalie Gutgesell (Kunstverein Coburg), with the support of the Peles National Museum.
Olivia Nițiș presented at the colloquium a paper titled Reclaming Visibility: Sonja Nădejde in the Bavarian Art Environment 1895-1904. The researcher emphasised the fact that "the erasure of women from art history is a deep systemic problem", adding: "there is still much to be discovered about 19th century women artists and their educational and professional links with Western centers (Munich, Vienna, Paris)". Her paper is part of a wider effort to restore the identity of these overlooked women artists.
