The Muse Looks Back: An Exploration of Female Portraiture @ Toi Tauranga Art Gallery

Guest curated by Ellie Smith, this art historical show is an exhibition dedicated to exploring the perspectives of female-identifying artists as they depict female subjects. Bringing together a diverse collection of portraiture from significant national collections, the exhibition highlights the richness, complexity, and nuance of female identity, challenging traditional male-dominated narratives in portrait art.
