Femina

Female identity is a shifting kaleidoscope—an ever-turning constellation of roles, memories, and embodied experience. This exhibition brings together women artists whose work opens new ways of seeing and sensing womanhood, each exploring the complexities of the female form and the stories carried within it.

Through portraiture and self-portraiture, these photographers reclaim the gaze and turn it inward. Their images go beyond the objectified view of the female body and explore how it feels from within: the pulse of interiority, the terrain of longing, resilience, desire, and becoming.

How do we inhabit our bodies as women? What does it mean to translate an internal landscape—emotional, sensual, psychological—into the external language of the photograph? These works ask us to consider how the female self can be seen, felt, and understood when authored by those who live its truth.
