Sense of Women

Exposición Sense of Women en el OPUS ME Dubai, Zaha Hadid Salon (Emiratos Árabes Unidos)

Del 27 de marzo al 31 de abril de 2021.

 

The Undisputed growth that has had the MIA Art Collection during last year, has led this private art collection, created by feminist philanthropist Alejandra Castro Rioseco, to make their first physical art exhibition in the prestigious ME Hotel Dubai, designed by Zaha Hadid.

 

“Sense of Women” is an exhibition project of the MIA Art Collection that seeks to highlight the creative and artistic work of 9 women artists from different parts of the world. They all come from different countries, ages, and cultures, but with a common motive: to mar an era, a milestone in the journey to a more sustainable and fairer future for women.

 

Curated by the MIA’s official curators of Europe, Semíramis González, and Asia: Alejandra Rodríguez Cunchillos; this exhibition shows to the world the work of Noemi Iglesias Barrios (Spain), Patricia Millns (UK), Aisha Al Ahmadi (UAE), Ana Daganzo (Spain), Verónica Ruth Frías (Spain), Mari Ito (Japan), Akiko Nakayama (Japan), Liubov Kolbina (Russia) and Fatima Al Kindi (UAE). Their work moves from science, education, to techniques such as sewing, ceramic, painting, porcelain and the use of technology.

 

The “Sense of Women” exhibition embodies different elements of being a women artist: the search of balance between being a woman and being an artist, the pressure of technology and social media in the artistic production of pieces that can caught the interest of the media, and how to reflect a ‘pandemic viewer’ who is looking – probably now more than ever – to identify himself/herself through art,  who needs time to reflect, to take time to grieve and to return to a new world. Therefore, this art exhibition is opened with five sculptural pieces by Noemí Iglesias Barrios called “breathe”, as a way to remember what we have lived during these times.
