The Feminine | Mind, Body & Spirit

The works presented in this exhibition are a reflection of some of the diverse and powerful narratives that women carry. The 30 ALWCA artists featured here were invited to share their unique perspectives on concepts such as personal and collective transformation, empowerment and agency, feminism and gender equality, identity and intersectionality, the unfeminine - subverting gender norms, nature and environmentalism, and motherhood and family.

Together, these works form a powerful narrative that challenges, celebrates, and redefines what it means to be feminine. Their works speak to the richness of identity, exploring intersectionality and the complexities of belonging, while also challenging the limitations imposed by societal norms. Central to this exhibition are explorations of the body—its power, vulnerability, and connection to mental health, as well as the nurturing and often transformative aspects of motherhood and family. The artists also offer interpretations of our relationship with the earth, and how it is inextricably tied to our identities as women. Ultimately, these artists invite us to reflect on how we understand and embrace the feminine experience, individually and collectively, in our world today.
