At De Fabriek, Sopranos reclaims femininity through sculpture, weaving concepts of nostalgia and innocence together. By reinterpreting cuteness and softness, the exhibition challenges bias, provokes reflection, and reframes femininity as powerful.
Soft Shields
This exhibition explores femme-coded forms that are not just pretty or decorative, but potent and commanding. It challenges the bias that equates femininity with weakness by reclaiming cuteness as a form of power. Softness becomes subversive, and playfulness becomes a quiet form of resistance.
Moving through the hazy space between childhood and adulthood, this work dives into the emotional warmth, vagueness, and bittersweet. Sculptural pieces reimagine childhood symbols through an adult lens, blending innocence with complexity and desire with discomfort. Each piece is both charming and a little unsettling, asking not just to be admired but to be understood.
