DEMYSTIFYING FEMININITY is the title of a 3-week long exhibition project which
includes a group art show, discussions, artist talks, stand up comedy and
workshops throughout the three weeks program.
We launched an open call to encourage local and international artists (especially
women and LGBTQI+ community) from diƦerent fields of visual and applied arts to
apply and present diverse approaches on the concept femininity. Artists were
invited to explore, demystify, question and redefine the concept, whether it was
through a social, personal, political or corporeal approach.
The exhibition aims to open up a dialogue between artworks/artists and public to
question and reflect the contemporary connotation of the concept femininity,
sexuality and gender roles. The artworks subvert, at the same time surrender and
challenge the archetypes of femininity.
These aesthetical observations become metaphors of how to look at the broader
issues of empowerment, gender roles, questions of personal identity, beauty,
politics, hegemony, labour, patriarchy, popular culture and societal expectations.
