About the Exhibition

The exhibition focuses on contemporary female portraiture as a space of dialogue and visibility. From intimate self portraits to symbolic representations of women, the works examine the emotional, psychological and social dimensions of womanhood today.

Faces, gazes, gestures and bodies become carriers of narrative and memory. Fragments of Her invites artists to explore how women are seen, how they see themselves and how portraiture can act as a powerful site of agency, resilience and transformation.
