Divine Feminine | March 8, 2025

Open Call for Artists

Join Our New York Exhibition

Submit your portfolio now for an exclusive opportunity to participate in a groundbreaking exhibition celebrating the power of the divine feminine.

Dates: March 8, 2025

APPLY HERE

ABOUT

This project, structured as an open call, will select artists through a rigorous curatorial process.

Each selected artist will produce two pieces, which may include paintings, photographs, or sculptures.

For this initiative, the TRIANGLE has been chosen as the foundational form for all works.

OBJECTIVE

The project aims to create a circuit of exhibitions in different cities, beginning on March 8, 2025, with potential extensions to Rio de Janeiro and Cairo.

These exhibitions will feature visual arts, performances, and projections during their openings, creating immersive and engaging experiences for the audience.

INSPIRATION

To illustrate the concept, inspire participants, and spread the transformative effects of the divine feminine, the project draws inspiration from figures such as Malala Yousafzai, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Michelle Obama, Oprah Winfrey, Maria da Penha, Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, Greta Thunberg, Frida Kahlo, Simone de Beauvoir, Chiquinha Gonzaga, and many others who have used their expression as a form of resistance and activism for women’s rights.

THE CONCEPT

The TRIANGLE was chosen for this project as a representation of the feminine universe. When exhibited collectively, the triangular forms will create curves symbolizing the journey as the vital force of women and the driving power behind their achievements throughout history.

This concept stems from the ideas of birth, creation, and positioning oneself in the world through a universal language that transcends borders.

The boundaries between consciousness and the paradoxes of everyday challenges demand from women a unique power of transformation—turning difficulties into poetic metaphors that express the urgency of life.

This is how the divine feminine manifests in each woman.
