The work of Alejandra Glez (Havana, 1996) addresses specific personal and social issues. She peruses her own experience with traumas such as panic attacks and sexual assault to build unique and stirring visual artwork. Moreover, she aims at exploring the feminine identity while delving into some of the most actual approaches to the feminist theory. Media such as photography, collage, installation, performance and video are implemented to defy the patriarchal codes that stigmatize femininity. This, in order to question the macho-imposed models that she grew up with and to achieve a deeper self-knowledge.

Hanneke van Leeuwen (b. 1984) is a photographer and visual artist based in Amsterdam, the Netherlands. ODE is a body of work that began oscillating at the edges of consciousness in 2017 as little ideas and imaginings at first; reflections and wonderings that crossed my mind when I looked into the mirror, or talked to other women, or spent time alone traversing natural terrains. Confronted with myself and my environment in a way she hadn’t been before, I started to consider what it truly means to be a woman, and slowly but surely, while feeling around the edges of the subject through a process of intuitive visual research, a constellation of images and collages emerged. What binds the works in ODE together are intertwining threads of form and feeling, movement and gesture, history and culture both personal and shared, as well as an overarching preoccupation with the ways that womanhood has always been represented and explored.

His work, known for an often playful sensibility and an intimacy that unite viewer and subject, is driven by his desire to show up for marginalized communities because as a queer Black man, he knows the power of visibility.
