GROUP SHOW

With this ethos at its heart, Being hopes to realise these ideas through a set of uniquely curated exhibitions that bring the “present” together with the “future”. The inaugural exhibition of this series, Mom is a Woman will present works by approx. 20 established to emerging, wartime to contemporary female artists from around the globe.

Whilst also being an incredibly diverse assembly of artists from differing genres, periods, countries, and cultures, the exhibiting artists are drawn together by their shared identification with womanhood. Unbound by socially construed ideas of gender, these artists express their ideas of identity and existence through their works. In turn, what they embody through their production is a high sense of self-reflection and awareness, the strength to constantly challenge themselves, and the ability to overcome differences, maintaining dignity and respect as female artists unconstrained by superficial barriers. With this, we would like to take this opportunity to experience and be witness to the new kinds of synergy that will emerge from this diverse assembly of artists from disparate times and cultures.

The exhibition will feature works by wartime to contemporary artists of various ages, nationalities and cultures. In addition, exhibiting works will span a multitude of genres, from media art to photography, painting, sculpture, installation and more.
