It is her first exhibition in Portugal and is on display at the Ethnology Museum, from the 10th of November until the 31st of May 2024. Lekha Singh presents us with a collection of photographs focusing on the enormous overload that, even today, falls on women, all over the world.
Women photographed in India, Bhutan, Japan, Morocco, Namibia and the United States of America, among other places, reveal to us how their physical abilities are, despite not yet being properly recognized, a source of affirmation and empowerment that allows them to break traditional gender barriers.
“These are fundamental questions for us to think about the world and the societies we live in, but also to think about the world and the societies we want to build for the future and the place that women should have in them.” (in https://mnetnologia.wordpress.com/2023/11/03/exposicao-lekha-singh-as-mulheres- Carregam-o-mundo/)
Lekha Singh has presented her photographic work in more than twenty exhibitions in Los Angeles, New York, Washington, Paris, among others. In 2012 she made the documentary Beyond Right and Wrong: Stories of Justice and Forgiveness, in which she addresses the role of forgiveness in conflicts such as those in Rwanda, Northern Ireland and Israel/Palestine.
Don't miss this beautiful exhibition!
