"CONTEMPORÁNEAS explores the intersections between contemporary female photographic creation and the new artistic tools offered by NFT technology, and constitutes a pioneering project in Spanish contemporary photography. The collection is the result of an open call by 'Cómo ser Fotógrafa' (How to Be a Female Photographer): a platform that values the role of women in artistic creation and positions itself as a medium that connects traditional photography with the constantly evolving web3 space.
With a fresh and avant-garde approach, the exhibition seeks to break the boundaries of the photographic medium and challenge tradition by presenting works that dare to explore and experiment with the most innovative techniques of digital creation. Through the lens of contemporary Spanish and Spanish-speaking photographers, 'CONTEMPORÁNEAS' addresses topics such as consumerism, the standardization and homogenization of the body, and the fight against breast cancer. It presents a wide range of techniques and styles that draw on found material, landscape intervention, or the family album.
'CONTEMPORÁNEAS' also invites us to reflect on the current situation of female photographic creation, putting the spotlight on the artists and their unique perspectives. Its goal is not only to celebrate the work of these creators but also to raise important questions about diversity, equality, and inclusion in the art world".
