Exhibition 'La Vie invisible' Showcases Women Artists Using Photography to Challenge Social Invisibility

The exhibit 'La Vie invisible' highlights the work of female artists, featuring self-portraits that aim to confront the idea of women being overlooked. Its title is inspired by a book from Brazilian author Martha Batalha, emphasizing that this invisibility stems from cultural and societal constructs, not from any inherent quality. In today’s world, a male-driven framework often sidelines women, reducing their roles to mere submission. Artists involved include Rita Barros, Carla Cabanas, and many others. Their self-portraits serve as a means of identity reconstruction, pushing for greater social visibility. By showcasing their bodies, they challenge male dominance and highlight their strength in overcoming societal invisibility.
