Purse as a Portal

About This Event

Purse as a Portal is a dynamic collaborative exhibition exploring what women carry—physically, emotionally, socially, and ancestrally. Using the purse as both a tangible object and a powerful metaphor, participating artists illuminate the often-unseen treasures women hold each day: memory, identity, resilience, responsibility, magic, and survival. Each piece transforms the purse into a symbolic gateway—revealing personal histories, cultural narratives, and the rich inner worlds that shape women’s lives.
