"Visual Voices of Women" – An Intriguing Intersectionality

This is the title of the ongoing exhibition at the Honcharenko Center Kryvyi Rih (March 21 – April 19), which is positioned as feminist. However, beyond its format, what intrigues even more is its declared concept of intersectionality—a study of how gender, social status, ethnicity, and place of residence interact to shape each woman's experience.

16 Must-See Exhibitions in April

The "Visual Voices of Women" project is built on the concept of intersectionality and explores how different aspects of female identity—gender, social status, ethnicity, place of residence, or profession—interact and shape each woman's unique experience.

The choice of Kryvyi Rih as the exhibition's venue is no coincidence. This industrial city, with its strong cultural presence, serves as a metaphor for intersectionality: a place where women's voices gain strength and their stories take on particular significance.
