Show of Strength

Show of Strength, at Aguad Port & Jail Complex, brings together over 30 women artists in a powerful group exhibition set within a historic former prison. The exhibition reclaims the space as a site of expression, presenting diverse practices across painting, installation, sculpture, textile and photography that reflect personal narratives and collective experience.

Through varied artistic voices, the exhibition explores themes of identity, labour, resilience and visibility, while remaining rooted in the cultural landscape of Goa. Rather than seeking uniformity, the works embrace difference, creating a layered dialogue that highlights strength as a shared yet multifaceted condition.

Together, the exhibition unfolds as an immersive and thought provoking experience, transforming a historic site into a space for reflection, dialogue and contemporary artistic expression.
