The construction of the domestic space as an eminently feminine place associated with specific gender roles has been questioned by feminist analysis since the 1970s. In the visual arts, women artists have used their artistic practices to deconstruct the association of the domestic with the private as opposed to the public space as political, to make visible the inequalities and violence in the home. This article analyzes current claims based on the work of the art collective Offmothers, focused on subverting the construction of motherhood, and that of Costa Badía, whose works delve into domestic spaces according to her experience as a woman artist with disabilities
