About the Exhibition
Fragments of Her is a contemporary art exhibition dedicated to female portraiture in its many forms.
The exhibition brings together artists who explore the presence of women through portrait based practices, celebrating identity, strength, vulnerability and lived experience across cultures and generations.
From intimate self portraits to symbolic representations, the works reflect the emotional, psychological and social dimensions of womanhood. Faces, gestures, gazes and bodies become carriers of narrative, memory and transformation.
Rather than presenting a single definition of femininity, Fragments of Her reveals the richness and complexity of women’s stories today through visual interpretation. Each artwork becomes a fragment of a wider collective portrait of contemporary womanhood.
