An exhibition of works made by women that helps recover and give value to peripheral expressive and intellectual forms, while drawing attention to the non-neutrality of language and art, pointing to issues of gender, ethnicity, sexuality, and social class that span different contexts, generations, and geographies, without reproducing the stereotypes and formal and conceptual structures associated with women, the feminine, or femininity; instead, they use art as a platform for personal, political, and social vindication and revision in the face of traditional discourses on art, its history, and theory.

Framed around five moments: learning with the body; feelings and perceptions about the body; subversive bodily acts; family identities; stereotyped representations; objects and attributes. Involving a variety of techniques (painting, photography, printmaking, performance, video, among others), it is conceived by its authors as absolute objects and ideas that seek to integrate their experiences, concerns, and certainties regarding their individuality and the role they play as social agents. A space intended to bring the works and artistic processes belonging to the MAC's collection closer to the public and share them.
The invitation is to think of art as the possibility of opposing these divisions, seeking to understand the works and their contexts as something integral and more complex than it appears.
