The Carl Kruse Arts Blog invites all to the vernissage of “A ROOM OF HER OWN,” a group exhibition that takes place at the NOTAGALLERY event space at Marlene-Dietrich-Platz 5, 10785, Berlin on March 8, 2025.
The exhibition brings together female photographers who through their art, focus on the multifaceted narratives of women. Here, women are not passive subjects but compelling agents of change, shaping stories—their own and those of others—with authenticity and power.
The artists challenge male-dominated artistic views that have historically defined visual culture, inviting viewers to reimagine the landscape of contemporary photography. While traditional fine art has historically marginalized the contributions of women, here we see photography emerging as a liberating medium. These artists face the ways women have been constrained by societal expectations, offering instead a vision of empowerment and self-determination.
Rooted in the legacy of second-wave feminism—which sought visibility for women within the art world—this exhibition is a tribute to that struggle. The women behind the camera do not just document, they disrupt. Through their lens, they invite us to engage in the intricate interplay between identity, power and body, discovering the nuanced dimensions of femininity that embrace the intimate and the collective, the individual and the universal.
The artists include Alice Brunello Luise, Anastasia Shik, Anna Morosini, Delfina Carmona, Giorgia Bovo, Liora K, Marina Monaco, Masha Demianova, Monika Kozub aka Berlin Boudoir, and Rebecca Sulzer.
The exhibition is curated by: Matilde Dani.
