Dear Women

“The Lover

The Fighter

The Nurturer

The Warrior

Mother of All

The Giver of Life”

Women in all of her nature gives life in such a profound way. Without women, life would cease to exist yet as a collective we devalue her strength, her wisdom, her presence and her contribution. ‘Dear Women’ is a tribute to women who have been hurt, abused, and suppressed. It is a homage paid to women who have lost their innate powers and voices to mistreatment and oppression. It is the remembrance of the feminine power as individuals and a collective - the reclaiming of who they are.

The exhibition conveys the stages of trauma as a result of an abusive experience through a visual journey. It takes you through a series of walls depicting inflicted trauma, physical , emotional pain and mental battle in the form of art. Each stage of trauma is demonstrated in various medium and expression reflecting the aspects of wellness as a direct effect of the experience.

The exhibition hopes to serve as a platform for the voices that have been unheard, instil power where it is due, raise awareness on what we can do to implement change and break down sabotaging norms.
