PAIN POINTS

We grapple with unprecedented challenges in a world that is on fire. Evidence on the global state of women is clear. We face increasing barriers to bodily autonomy, rising mortality rates, and the reversal of long-established legal protections. Our voices are often met with indifference or dismissal when raised in discontent. Yet, we refuse to be silenced. Our experiences, our pain points, are real and deserve recognition. 

We invite you to explore how the global status of women impacts your life. How do you navigate your pain points? How do you translate your experience into art? We seek works reflecting personal and collective issues, capturing this era’s intricate emotions and resilience. This exhibition is a testament to the validity of our perspectives and celebrates our ingenuity in overcoming adversity.
