博物馆的参观者在静静的沉思中与艺术品建立联系。我认为，减少语言强加和讨论沉默的视觉艺术可以引发移情批评。专注于沉默的哲学，女性主义的视觉艺术方法和这种形式的集体记忆的研究，我相信，女性艺术家的沉默工作克服了谈论的话，拥抱这些情况下的沉默的沟通能力的情况下没有悖论。为了在文化记忆中获得可见度，妇女不得不将沉默从被迫沉默转变为话语反叛。沉默在他们的作品中体现出来，因为观察者可以感知到它。通过他们的感官，博物馆的参观者将识别沉默的表现形式，并理解在这些情况下，这些沉默包含着信息。因此，沉默将打破不分青红皂白的谈话的现代趋势，在一个沉思美学允许移情被激活的空间。为了说明这一点，我的文章分析了以下视觉艺术作品，为讨论提供了一个国际维度，强调了沉默的普遍性：Shirin Neshat的短片《湍流》，C.C.琼斯的艺术品嘘#8，卡罗琳哈雷的照片'五个女人'和多丽丝萨尔塞多的装置Plegaria穆达。
Museum visitors engage in silent contemplation establishing a connection with artistic objects. I argue that visual art that reduces linguistic impositions and discusses silence can trigger empathic critique. Focusing on the philosophy of silence, feminist approaches to visual arts and the study of collective memory in this form, I believe that female artists that work on silence overcome the paradox of talking about the absence of words by embracing the communicative power of these instances of quiescence. In order to access visibility in cultural memory, women have had to turn silence from imposed muteness into a discursive rebellion. Silence materialises in their work because the observer can perceive it. Through their senses, the museum visitor will recognise representations of silence and understand that, in these cases, these silences contain messages. Consequently, silence will break the modern tendency of indiscriminate chatter, in a space where aesthetics of contemplation allow empathy to be activated. To illustrate this, my article analyses the following visual artworks, giving an international dimension to the discussion, which emphasizes the universality of silence: Shirin Neshat’s short film Turbulent, Jennie C. Jones’s artwork Shhh #8, Caroline Halley’s photograph ‘The 5 Women’ and Doris Salcedo’s installation Plegaria Muda.
