Ex-Femina, Latin for « from woman, » encapsulates the profound transformation in the portrayal of femininity and the female gaze within contemporary art. This evolution is not merely a shift in representation but a declamation of agency, identity, and perspective.

International artists of various genders explore, through mediums including sculpture, painting, photography, collage, drawing, diorama and textile art, facets of womanhood beyond the confines of objectification and passive observation. Through figurative and abstract forms, they explore themes of fertility, nature, animality, intimacy, technology, spirituality, consumption and trickery among others.

Ex-Femina inclusively and playfully celebrates the multifaceted nature of the female experience beyond conventional constructs.
