In honour of women in 2025, WOMXN // MMXXV is a collective exploration of the cyclical, volcanic nature of femininity—its quiet potency, its capacity to nourish and hold, and its inevitable, necessary eruptions. Drawing from the myth of Persephone, goddess of both Spring and the Underworld, this exhibition embraces the dualities within us: light and dark, softness and rage, dormancy and bloom. Here, femininity is not confined to definition—it is lived through rhythms of rupture and renewal, destruction and creation, in forms both delicate and rumbustious.

We ask: where do we stand as womxn in 2025, and how do we erupt now? Are we brave enough to step into the light?

It was pure privilege to source far and wide to put together this powerful exhibition featuring 25 artists and over 100 artworks. On a personal level, I've experienced a major transformational shift in my own life path, often frequenting the Underworld emotionally whilst keeping up with the pleasantries of Springtime simultaneously. This feminine superpower can remain grounded whilst nurturing life—and transform through tiny eruptions when the time is right. The selected artists channel this metaphor, weaving themes of myth, power, emergence, fertility, and transformation into their work. Their voices echo a truth many carry: that the feminine is not fragile, but fiercely regenerative. This catalogue is a tribute to womxn as creators, destroyers, and reborn storytellers—forever blooming, sinking, rising again.
