"WOMEN HOUSE AMSTERDAM celebrates the power of feminist art while critically challenging the status of women artists, by exposing gender inequality and the persistent exclusions that still define the art world. In the 21st century, feminist art still manifests itself as a powerful, multi-voiced language of resistance, critique and poetic disruption. The project, which actively connects with global feminist voices, was initiated in 2024 by Brazilian artist Neyde Lantyer and Uruguayan curator and PhD architect Alejandra Muñoz. Under the name Casa de Mulheres, the first edition took place at the Museum of Modern Art of Bahia (MAM-BA) in Brazil. This exhibition was a tribute to Womanhouse (1972), the first feminist exhibition in the United States, realised by artists Judy Chicago and Miriam Schapiro in Los Angeles.
As a second edition, the exhibition now gets a follow-up in Amsterdam with a number of new participants. Here, 25 international artists from diverse backgrounds, including artists from the NDSM, present a wide range of artistic techniques to explore the lived experiences of women. They focus on themes such as gendered labour, motherhood, racism, gender-based violence and feminicide, among others. At the same time, the female body - historically objectified, politicised and controlled - is being reclaimed as a site of strength, vulnerability and expression.
By actively claiming equality for women in art, WOMEN HOUSE AMSTERDAM joins global feminist movements fighting for women's rights. At the same time, the project also embraces decolonial, ancestral and indigenous perspectives. It dreams of a more just and equal future - rooted in solidarity and climate justice, and committed to the radical pursuit of global peace.

​Outward Soul
International Group Exhibition
October 26 – November 9, 2024, at OnArtGallery, Florence
​
The international group exhibition Outward Soul, organized by Nartwork APS, will be held at OnArtGallery in Florence from
October 26 to November 9, 2024.
This last exhibition of 2024 by the Nartwork Association is dedicated to exploring the most beautiful part of every being, one that remains untouched by human trials or the passage of time, belonging to the intangible world, yet alive and present in everyone's experience.
The exhibiting artists have taken on the challenge of revealing what cannot be seen, transcending the limits of matter to express the formless, and finding the harmonious middle ground between the two opposites of material and immaterial.
The exhibition features works by 29 artists from 16 countries and has received the moral patronage from Tuscany and Campania Region, Suor Orsola Benincasa University, and ALSOB Association. The artworks on display are accompanied by QR codes that link to descriptive phrases provided by the artists for the public.
During the vernissage, scheduled for Saturday, October 26 at 5:30 PM, there will be a discussion between curators, participating artists, and the audience, and the exhibition catalog will be distributed for free. A small refreshment will follow.
Booking on eventbrite
The exhibition is free to visit from October 26 to November 9, 2024, Monday to Saturday, from 3:00 PM to 7:00 PM at OnArt Gallery, Via della Pergola 57-61r, 50121 Florence.
