Ewa Partum: Conceptual Feminism

EVENT DESCRIPTION

A pioneer of conceptual art, Ewa Partum’s work is inseparable from feminism challenging the social inequalities, the patriarchal system, and women’s representation in art. Since the early 1970s, she has challenged the societal systems that dictate how women should behave, appear, and occupy public space. In her practice, the personal is political—not as a slogan, but as a lived, enduring artistic investigation.

This first solo exhibition in Asia brings together Partum’s works across photography, film, mixed media, and works on paper, offering viewers an opportunity to see the breadth and depth of her contribution to the intersection of conceptualism and feminist discourse.
