The opening of the documentary exhibition Be AWARE / IESA will be held on Wednesday, 26 April from 6pm. The exhibition will focus on the work of women artists selected by students of the IESA Master of Contemporary Art, accompanied by the teacher and curator Carolina Ariza. The exhibition will take place from April 26th to June 2nd at IESA.

The exhibition is based on a device created by matali crasset and AWARE, with a multimedia approach combining texts, images and video.

Be AWARE aims to highlight women artists of the 20th century based on research around four themes, carried out by the students. These themes address the idea of the body as a vector of emancipation and resistance, as well as the representation of women’s bodies in the contemporary world. The texts will focus on twelve women artists who raise political, identity and cultural issues in contemporary art: Ulla von Brandenburg, Kubra Khademi, Kapwani Kiwanga, Iva Lulashi, Ntombephi Ntobela, Alicia Paz, Daniela Prost, Duaa Qishta, Karine Rougier, Chui Mui Tan, Hideka Tonomura and Chloe Wise.
