Artemisia's Intent: A new play by The Anthropologists

by Melissa Moschitto

Inspired by every proclamation of me too, Artemisia’s Intent paints a startling portrait of a woman caught at the intersection of gender, power, and art.


Declared “a powerful parallel to our current cultural moment” (Culture Catch), The Anthropologists unearth the life, work, and words of 17th century painter Artemisia Gentileschi to ask, what is lost in a culture that objectifies and oppresses women?


Artemisia’s Intent was devised by a team of five women artists using found text, archival materials, historical documents and cultural artefacts.
