Description
A three-year long exhibition, VISIBLE/INVISIBLE explores the visual representation of women through artworks in MAP's collection, dating from the 10th century to contemporary times. It attempts to re-address preconceived notions of femininity and gender as a social construct through art history by providing a more inclusive understanding towards it.
For centuries, while women have been one of the central themes of artistic representation, the image builders have largely been male, allowing women very little control over the nature of their mainstream representation. This exhibition focuses on such central themes but also presents ideas and histories which provide a counter to it. Sacrifice, nourishment, aggression, abandonment, desire, success, struggle and power dynamics form a common thread across the exhibition to highlight selected stories of women.
