Summary: Digital platforms have expanded the dissemination of art in the 21st century, proposing new spaces for creation and mediation (ARANTES, 2021). In Brazil, these technologies are especially relevant for women artists and curators, who have historically faced visibility challenges in the art system (MOTA, 2020). This paper investigates how Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) contribute to the preservation, digitization, and dissemination of collections and exhibitions by Brazilian women artists and curators, focusing on the post-pandemic period (2021-2022). The problem focuses on understanding how ICT can enhance female participation in the art system in the digital age. The central hypothesis suggests that ICT can increase visibility and challenge traditional hierarchies, although gender inequalities persist in the virtual environment. The research adopts a qualitative and exploratory approach, combining theoretical review, documentary survey, and in-depth interviews. The study analyzes Brazilian virtual exhibitions with female participation, looking at curatorial practices, technical resources, and digital platforms. By highlighting the role of women in digital curating, the work reinforces the importance of investigating the transformations generated by technologies in contemporary art. It suggests directions for future research into the intersections between technology, curating, and feminism.
