Through figurative portraits and more abstract compositions, the exhibition presents a wide range of perspectives: women from different countries, women in rural settings, mothers, women advocating for their rights and women moving forward in contexts shaped by inequality. The works convey messages of resilience, vitality and empowerment, emphasising the essential role of women in society.
During the inauguration, the Minister for the Presidency highlighted that the exhibition provides visibility and recognition for female artistic talent and the stories behind each represented reality, noting that art is a powerful tool for fostering critical thinking and advancing equality.
