Meet the ‘Female’ at Motormond. Being female consists of many aspects beyond what meets the eye and eventually becoming a female is an open and ongoing interpretation.
Andrea Long Chu’s Females (2019) and Valerie Sonas’ SCUM Manifesto (1967) interpretations are the core theses that this exhibition roots itself. Through the paintings and photographs of Alma Surreal, Lorenco, Amjad Hashem, and Jean-Paul Paula, ‘Female’ examines how desire relates to the construction of femaleness and its image, operating between the boundaries of the authentic self desired self and the desire projected onto oneself by others.
