FEBRUARY 26 - MARCH 21
Renegade Women
Eva Fernández unearths forgotten and silenced histories through intimate acts in delicate threads, reclaiming traditional domestic craft as a site of remembrance and resistance. Working with vintage photographs of anonymous women severed from their family archive, as well as family photographs and contemporary images, Fernández employs the visual language of traditional Spanish embroidery to re-inscribe these silenced subjects into cultural memory. Each image is physically pierced to accommodate the delicate threads, in both a tender and violent gesture, symbolising the rupture, trauma and erasure experienced by women during the Spanish Civil War and its aftermath. These photographic images - both orphaned artefacts and intimate personal family heirlooms - become silent testaments to lives taken, displaced and erased, threading memory back into visibility through acts of creative resistance.
