Ex-Femina, Latin for "from woman," encapsulates the profound transformation in the portrayal of femininity and the female gaze within contemporary art. This evolution is not merely a shift in representation but a reclamation of agency, identity, and perspective.
International artists of various genders explore, through mediums including sculpture, painting, photography, collage, drawing, diorama and textile art, facets of womanhood beyond the confines of objectification and passive observation. They depict women as subjects with complex narratives, desires, and emotions. Through figurative and abstract forms, they explore themes of fertility, nature, animality, intimacy, technology, spirituality, consumption and trickery among others.
Ex-Femina inclusively and playfully celebrates the multifaceted nature of the female experience beyond conventional constructs.
Exhibiting artists include: Louisa Armbrust, Aisha T Bell, Amy Butowicz, Martin Campos, Tiffany Cole, Ursula Endlicher, Natasha Gornik, Valérie Hallier, Lily Hyon, Daniel Maidman, Jody MacDonald, Shiri Mordechay, Serena Nickson, Agnès Pezeu, Roxane Revon, Morgan Suter, Elizabeth Tolson, and Noah Trapolino.
