'There is peaceful, there is wild. I am both at the same time.'- Nayyirah Waheed
La Niña Project presents its first group exhibition featuring a selection of works by 17 contemporary female and non-binary femme artists.
Each artist reveals a quality, a connection. Together they bring refreshing waters to heal an environment where stereotypes and the repression of the Feminine have led to a dramatic disconnection to the land we inhabit, our bodies and the very fabric of life. These are artists reclaiming their power, and their art offers an insight into the weaving of new contemporary female identities, their resilience and liberation. Just like the natural phenomenon La Niña, these artists are here to nurture and reconnect, to destruct and recreate.
Exhibition curated by Katherine Gailer with the support of No Vacancy Gallery and Lucy Lucy.
