Feminist Futures: Art, Activism, and South Asian Womanhood is an exhibition of ten visionary women artists from across South Asia whose work critically confronts the complex intersections of contemporary feminist thought and the deeply rooted societal structures in the region. The exhibition interrogates the nuanced dynamics of gendered power, exploring themes of patriarchy, colonial legacies, and socio-religious constructs through the lens of art and activism.
