“In my work, I address identity, an identity that has been formed by many influences: an obsession with social media, growing up in a country plagued by violence and obsessed with external beauty and traditional values, pop culture, and by being a woman.

As a Colombian woman, I grew up with very specific expectations of the kind of woman I should be: sexy, joyful, warm and serviceable, maternal but in a hot way, strong but submissive, to a god, a man, or both. In this project, I reverse the codes that have been forced onto me, and immerse myself in the different symbols of how Colombian women exist and have been represented through self-portraits.

I am inspired by the women who have come before me, women that have used their minds, bodies, and souls to leave a mark on the world through their art.”

Gen Z, one generation, countless perspectives: the exhibition presents works by over 40 photographers from 25 countries born between the 1990s and 2010. Their works reflect experiences shaped by digital worlds, social change and global crises. Across four thematic sections, the exhibition offers insights into the realities, concerns and aspirations of young people. Themes such as identity, belonging, the body and gender are explored creatively, questioned and reimagined through new forms of self-understanding.
