The exhibition

Body is weapon, enemy and ally in a fragile war against convention. The natural-feminine binomial is an ontological association to be rethought and transformed, especially in the representation of being mothers, children and wives. Often represented in the armor of her traditional dress, the istmeña woman is the subject and object of this story, which responds to the need to no longer see themselves represented by a patriarchal gaze. Born from travels, returns and long stops in the isthmus of Tehuantepec (Oaxaca) in Mexico,Corazonadais Giulia Gatti's project, born from the collaboration with the women who inhabit these places.

 

Female bodies united by a latent desire for independence, freedom and power; who recognize themselves in the desire to subvert the scenarios designed over time by the norm, by external appropriations. They play together to build new scenes in which the feminine appropriates elements related to power. Of symbols of eroticism, hunting, mystery. This work plays with the stages - natural or cultural or normative - of the female body, animated by the attempt to sow provocation on the fertile ground of tradition.
