GIRLS explores the beauty and complexity of girlhood and the emotional journey to adulthood. How is 'being a girl' portrayed? How is it remembered? And how does 'the girl' influence visual culture and fashion? Central themes are daughters, sisters, and friendship, along with experiences of boredom, rebellion, and growing up.

Featuring work by various artists from different fields, including Veronique Branquinho, Louise Bourgeois, Sofia Coppola, Jenny Fax, Roni Horn, Jas Knight, Alice Neel, Meret Oppenheim, Frida Orupabo, and Simone Rocha.

Text contributions by Elisa De Wyngaert (curator at MoMu Antwerp), Claire Marie Healy, Wim Mertens (curator at MoMu Antwerp), Morna Laing, Alex Quicho and others. Interviews with Nancy Steiner (costume designer for Sofia Coppola's films), Leticia Valverdes, Lauren Greenfield...

Reviews for GIRLS: On Boredom, Rebellion and Being In-Between

""....features a broad collection of works by various artists (from Louise Bourgeois, to Chopova Lowena, to Meret Oppenheim, Harley Weir, Tina Barney, and many more) investigating the world of girls, challenging the rigid conception that Western art has long imposed on them....""-- ""Exhibition review, Vogue"" ""...frames girlhood as both archetype and subversion....brilliant...""--Sofia De La Cruz ""Exhibition review, Wallpaper Magazine"" ""...reclaims the word from nullifying cliché, framing adolescence not just as a catalogue of struggles, but as a crucible of strength, self-invention and agency....Girls offers a reminder to all of us - even as grown women - of the importance of reaching inward to touch again the wonder and intensity of girlhood.""--Madeleine Rothery ""Exhibition review, AnOther Magazine""
