MIA x MTArt Agency Presents Female Lenses for Art Activism

Female-identifying artists everywhere face countless challenges in and out of the art world. MIA Collection’s mission has been to increase the visibility of female artists everywhere. Our founder, Alejandra Castro Rioseco, has made it our defining characteristic to exclusively collect and promote the work of female artists. To help artists we have launched an online museum, MIA Anywhere. After only 10 weeks running, we have featured the work of female artists from Iran to Hong-Kong, Brazil to Spain.

MIA Art Collection and MTArt Agency have curated Female Lenses for Art Activism, where 7 artists from MTArt Agency will be exhibiting. While the range of themes of Female Lenses for Art Activism reaches far and wide, the artists intersect in their multi-layered and multi-faceted artistic practice. The artists on show deal with pressing issues and offer a female lens with which to view these. Consciousness, ancestry, sustainability, mental health, technology, and energies are some of the topics the artists tackle. But while their topics hardly intersect, their savvy artistic skill does. All these women show their work in unique multi-disciplinary ways that combine and remix forms to create work that demands to be seen. The urgency of their work urges us to see these artists as activists, for they are both pushing forth their female lenses with pride while also tackling pressing issues we must acknowledge and observe in our contemporary society.
