The works are as different as ways of being can be, the exhibition explores delicate questions, such as sexuality, race, class and gender, questioning conventional ideals of beauty and identity. Its intention is to widen our perception of the variegated universe of femininity, with its multiple interpretations, showing that contemporary feminism as a movement has become more and more inclusive and facetted. It has taken a stand against sexism, but also against all types of discrimination, racism, classism, violence, denial of rights, even embracing environmentalists and anti-speciesism struggles.

The artists in the exhibition reflect in particular on what it means to be a woman today, among consuetudes, clichés, idealizations and gender stereotypes.

The transformation of an individual’s traditional form can be seen by everybody. The systems of digital culture, the affirmation of fluid identities, the desire to be a performative subject even while consuming, the processes of hybridization among fragments of different cultures, all of this delineates an ongoing transition toward something that is still unknown.

This transformation is based on a multiplication of information and the possibility of a new subject transiting into the realities that open up and there “playing” with her own identities.

In fact, the continuously evolving images to which we are exposed and through which we tell our stories (media, advertising, TV, Internet, social networks) influence the way in which we construct, express and perceive our identity.
