With the exhibit A Female Gaze, a group of female photographers explore concepts of masculinity, the male, and the feminine perspective. Some have examined their own and their subject’s vulnerability, others have conceptualised the dynamic between observer and observed and the tension therein. The exhibit also touches upon themes such as identity, desire, intimacy, gender roles, and family.

The central question centers upon the existence of a specific female gaze. Does it even exist? If so, what does it entail? What shapes and influences it, culturally, personally, and socially?

A gaze that is vulnerable and that makes space for the vulnerable.

A gaze that is about reflection over projection.

A gaze that is expansive, inclusive, collaborative, and compassionate
