Centering women shaping art, from the studio to the gallery.
ARTPOWHER Contemporary by Anna Maurrasse is included in Women-Led Galleries Now, a Women’s History Month initiative by Artsy celebrating women-led galleries and the artists they champion. This participation reflects ARTPOWHER‘s commitment to art initiatives that foster inclusive cultural exchange.
The featured artists and practices in the presentation span commemoration and social reflection, abstraction and words as exploration, textile-based reimagining of historical narratives, and intersections of art and science:
A selection of works from the series “I See You” by Sasha Huber is included: portraits created with a staple gun commemorating women who were victims of femicide and survivors of sexual violence, abuse, misogyny, and misogynoir — a term introduced by Moya Bailey to describe the intersection of racism and sexism faced by Black women.
Alina Kopytsia merges past and present in ways that blur distinctions between the historical and the contemporary, the sacred and the everyday. The featured textile pieces and porcelain sculpture from the series “Threads of Myth: A Soft Rebellion” reinterpret mythological and art historical narratives through a distinctly inclusive and conceptual lens with a sense of soft rebellion.
Works by Nadia Sawas question internalized beliefs and perceptions that shape identity, gender roles, and personal frameworks of understanding. Through abstraction and the integration of language as material, her practice explores how meaning and self-perception emerge from both conscious and unconscious narratives.
Pia Frank-Avramidis interweaves scientific structures with personal reflection, exploring the complex relationship between body, consciousness, and affect. By translating neurobiological and psychological phenomena into visual form, her painterly compositions examine how internal processes shape perception and experience.
Through Women-Led Galleries Now, ARTPOWHER Contemporary reinforces its commitment to amplifying women-led initiatives and supporting artistic practices that foster dialogue, understanding, and social engagement.
