The image chosen by The image chosen by Tomaso Binga for the Giornata del Contemporaneo, taken from a 1974 performance, is an emblematic icon of their artistic journey and a broader reflection on the role of women in society.

Through the image of a cage imprisoning the artist's head, the performance materializes in a raw and powerful way the condition of female subordination, often represented as both physical and psychological imprisonment. The act of being fed by masculine hands further accentuates this dynamic of dependency and control, highlighting the unequal power relations that structure gender relations.

The cage, besides being a symbol of constraint, also becomes a metaphor for the limitation of expressive and intellectual possibilities. Through this performance, Tomaso Binga critically questions the power mechanisms that, masquerading as care and protection, actually impose limits and conditioning. In this sense, their work is fully part of the feminist debate of the 1970s, offering a fundamental contribution to the deconstruction of stereotypical representations of women and the claim for an autonomous subjectivity.

Tomaso Binga's work, still highly relevant today, invites us to reflect on the persistent gender inequalities and the need to continue fighting for a more equitable and inclusive society. for the Twentieth Contemporary Art Day, taken from a 1974 performance, is an emblematic icon of their artistic journey and a broader reflection on the role of women in society.
