The theme of this exhibition explores the multifaceted and evolving concept of the feminine.
We want to bring together diverse perspectives on femininity, examining themes such as identity, empowerment, the body, spirituality, nature, domesticity, the interior and resistance. We encourage artists engage with these ideas, exploring how the feminine is expressed in spaces, environments, and everyday life. Works should delve into how femininity has been portrayed and reimagined, from personal experiences to cultural symbols. We will be featuring both female and male artists, emphasizing the universality of the feminine, inviting artists to challenge preconceptions and consider the complexities and beauty of the feminine in its many forms, from the intimate to the expansive.
Through various media, we hope this exhibition fosters a dialogue on the feminine as a powerful, ever-evolving force.
