About
The exhibition A VERY THIN LINE curated by the independent curators Inês Valle and Mafalda Budib brings together six visual artists Bumi Thomas (Nigeria), Chun Hua Catherine Dong (China/Canada), Nilbar Güres (Turkey), Nikki Luna (Philippines), Rita GT (Portugal) and Lorena Wolffer (Mexico) who through their art practices have been giving voice to female narratives.
Physical and psychological aggressions towards women, are some of the dark realities that still occur in many countries around the world; Humiliated and yet Triumphant in their everyday arenas, there is a strength that exists in every feminine soul, that always transmutes into a luminous path, no matter the intensity of their trauma. The works exhibited amplify themes of silence, oppression, violence, victimization, abused sexuality, forced pregnancy and modern slavery.
“A very thin line” interrelates a mix of emotions, medias and narratives by inviting the audience to experience the very dark and the very bright, as a result of tension between vulnerability and resistance, love and pain that is constantly whispered in our daily struggles.
