We invite you on Saturday, October 17, to the opening of My Fair Shadow, followed by a Focus Talk and a DJ set by Ploom.
My Fair Shadow is the second exhibition in the Focus Art Encounters programme, by artist Anca Raluca Memete and curated by Georgia Țidorescu.The exhibition explores how defence mechanisms are passed down from mother to daughter, becoming inherited forms of protection.
Drawing on the visual language of shadow theatre, the exhibition presents a series of animated silhouettes that pass animal masks associated with stereotypes used to ridicule or diminish women.
Through a repetitive ritual of disguise and transformation, the characters reclaim these identities as sources of power. The exhibition questions which inherited behaviours continue to protect us and which we can choose to let go of.
Anca Raluca Memete’s artistic practice explores memory, identity and the ways in which stories shape our perception through images and animation.
