Power - International digital exhibition catalog

In this exhibition, we seek to explore what Power is. Is it a physical meaning, or is strength something internal? Does being strong mean having an advantage over someone and being the first, or is it about willpower when a person has almighty patience and goes step by step to his goal? Does power have gender, man’s superiority over nature, or do time and age affect power? Everyone has their own truth. Let’s think about the meaning of power and show our own vision in this exhibition!

About artwork<br />

‘Her World’ empowers queer women and non-binary individuals by providing a platform<br />

to document their experiences, thoughts, and desires through a multi-sensory archive.<br />

The project’s art therapy workshops enable participants to express themselves<br />

creatively, resulting in unique profiles that capture their essence. The <strong>exhibition</strong> of<br />

these profiles showcases the diversity of the queer community and fosters community<br />

and belonging. ‘Hey Cards’ filled in by visitors during the installation demonstrate<br />

the transformative power of centering marginalized genders’ voices and experiences,<br />

which also led to new connection within the group.<br />

‘Her World’ demonstrates the transformative power of centering marginalized genders’<br />

voices and experiences by facilitating connections and fostering a sense of belonging. It<br />

provides a necessary platform for marginalized genders to be heard and validated.<br />

Artist Statement<br />

As a community artist and feminist in London, I explore gender issues, philosophy,<br />

and storytelling through various mediums. My art challenges societal norms, aiming<br />

to challenge societal norms and stereotypes through my art, with the intention of<br />

prompting reflection and promoting transformation. In my work, I frequently engage<br />

with communities and encourage participation, as I believe in the power of art to create<br />

social change and amplify the voices of marginalized groups.<br />
