BOZAR Centre for Fine Arts, Brussels presents ‘WHERE WE’RE AT! Other voices on gender’, an exhibition bringing together women photographers and video artists of African, Caribbean and Pacific cultural background, developing gender discourses in their art. Conceived as part of the Summer of Photography 2014 centered on Gender Relations, the project presents the work of practitioners who have made significant contributions to the participation and visibility of women in the arts since the 1980s. The show runs until August 31, 2014 and features the work of Barbadian artist Alberta Whittle.

The pieces selected for this exhibition address current topics and debates around gender equality, self-representation, body and sexuality, within the frames of cultural and identity politics, through innovative and often challenging aesthetics and conceptual approaches and creative processes.
WHERE WE’RE AT! is a contemporary appraisal of diverse artistic experiences ranging from the most intimate to the most singular forms of activism. It also stands as a curatorial positioning on questions relating to exhibiting and collecting gender-focused art practices in the South and global contexts.
