COLECTIVE EXHIBITION “CRISES”

Crises. Fights and resistances – Art as a liberating expression of the interior.

The voices of change can already be heard, already be felt. Sometimes they disturb.

The theme Crises appears, almost naturally, in dialogue with the current context.

Women have always been more exposed to all kinds of crises, economic, social, environmental and, above all, of rights.

With this proposal, we want to generate debate and reflection on the Crises that affect women – to look around and expose different realities and worlds by the restless, giving voice to their works and making them reach new horizons. Anything is valid.

We seek a meeting with the visions of visual artists on the subject: we will listen to the cries, whispers and expressions that point us to a crisis.

The artist is free to choose the content, form or body she wishes to give to the work. After the curatorial process, it will be possible to see, under different interpretations, how each woman understands and faces different types of crises.

For its 4^th edition, Porto Femme launched a special invitation to women artists, from Portugal and the world: to present works, in the field of visual arts, that fit the theme Crises. The goal was to create a body of diverse artworks, which dialogue among themselves, linked by the theme and presenting the same origin: being creations of women artists.
