When She Smiles Opening Reception

‘When She Smiles’ delves into the dynamic relationship between joy and femininity, particularly within the context of navigating social norms and reclaiming agency. Through a diverse range of mediums and experiences, this exhibition invites viewers to contemplate how joy is perceived, experienced, and cultivated by femmes, offering insights into the complexities of liberation, trauma, and empowerment. Amidst cultural pressures and expectations, we’re encouraging the search for personal fulfillment. Femmes use art to reclaim places for self-discovery, introspection, and personal growth. Artists remind us that happiness is more than just an external desire; it is a journey of self-acceptance and empowerment.
